Post #12, good comments are not necessary have to be good in English literature and writing, just clarity and bookkeeping. I’m not saying native English speakers don’t have problem, I had to wade through an architecture spec written by an American born professor from Cornell, (he was current professor at the time), and his spec sucks in such a way that I have to retread it more than twice to understand it. Most people in the group made the same comment toward this person. We often joked about his writing.
But bad writing didn’t hurt this kid, he was already multi- millionaires twice over when I met him, maybe he didn’t want to go further, some people stopped at a certain point when they accumulated enough money, ie they didn’t want to go farther. Nothing keeps them but their desire. So what I’m trying to say weak in Math might hurt you more than weak in English, you may flunk the pre-req to continue with the program or never graduate with an engineering degree. So it’s moot point to think about moving higher like into management and such if you never got the undergraduate degree in engineering.
