Good Writing-a Shared Responsibility

Abstract

Teaching of writing is the province of the writing teacher-of course. But ABCA President Knapper believes that if colleges and universities are to teach writing effectively, teachers of all subject matters will need to get in on that act. Writing is not a one-shot subject that can be handled in the confines of a single course, but must be stressed over and over again in a student's college career. And this cannot be done without a shared com mitment and a shared responsibility on the part of the entire facutly.
