My argument is that having more self-regulation will allow college students to better succeed academically, especially when it comes to writing. The other side of this argument is that self-regulation does not have such a big impact on students, which is supported by the Miller article in my sources. In this article, the results of their study found that self-regulation has no direct correlation to prediction accuracy in students. I find this counter-argument to be not so strong since it focuses on a different aspect (prediction accuracy) than most of my other texts. One comparison it does have with a few of my articles, like Pintrich's, is that it makes use of the MSLQ; a questionnaire used to evaluate self-regulation. I did find that the MSLQ is possibly outdated, so that raises a lot of questions regarding Miller's study and potentially even some of my other sources.
