I've been reading several posts on WPA-L about the trend at some schools to delay the second composition course until the sophomore or junior year. Philosophically, I like the idea at the sophomore level, because that would almost insure that writing would occur each year (assuming that students are expected to write in their major).
Practically, I need to think about that trend in terms of WTC, and I think we ought to pay attention at school. Clearly, the discussion suggests that the 4-year schools aren't happy with losing the credit to community colleges--as well as having to deal with high schoolers carrying college credit.
I wonder how long it would have flown below our radar screen if I hadn't bumped into that strand on the list serv?
