The Chronicle: Colloquy: Responses

There is little evidence to support that most undergraduates have any idea HOW to write. It would, in my opinion, behoove us to be sure they have read enough of the literature we hold up as 'classic' by the nature of its quality before encouraging them to go it on their own. The idea here is to be able to recognize quality on their own before trying to just cover some paper with words.
