Update: Exploratory Survey on the Status of the Research Paper Assignment in First Year Writing/Composition Courses
Submitted by carra leah hood on March 16, 2010 - 12:07The write-up about the results of my exploratory survey will appear in an upcoming issue of Composition Forum.

Among the population of respondents to this survey: 90% require first year writing/composition (FYW/C); 73% require a research paper assignment in FYW/C.
Typical research assignments in FYW/C: 6% traditional research paper assignment; 94% alternative research assignment.
