From: Mon 11:52 AM Subject: Radio ShowTo: bam@hamptons.com Bruce: Ten Questions: 1. Is there a crisis in college-level writing? 2. Why do college-level students have trouble writing? 3. Is high school to blame? 4. What should be taught in the first college-level writing course? 5. What should happen in the classroom? 6. What should be stressed in college-level writing? 7. What about research papers? 8. Has the internet and e-mail influenced college writing? 9. What kind of textbooks would you recommend? 10. What does not work well in teaching college-level writing? What not to ask: 1. Anything about politics. 2. Public vs. private schools. 3. Admissions criteria. 4. Bilingual education. 5. Regional educational differences. Some of the five above I actually might refer to, but I am not an expert on any of them. I would not feel comfortable going into any depth on these. Thanks, Virginia
