Report from the Ad Hoc Committee to Review the Change in the Plan I, B.A. Lower-Division English Requirement
Type
Report
Creator
Maxine Hairston
Date
1976-1977
Description
This report follows up on a change approved Feb 3, 1973, reducing the required number of credits in English from 12 to 9 hours (from two courses at both the freshman and sophomore levels to two courses at the freshman level and one course at the sophomore level). The 1973 change also approved two options for the second-semester freshman composition course: either a course in composition and literature or a course in composition, logic, and rhetoric. The Committee recommends: (1) Retaining the new 9-hour requirement; (2) retaining the two options (Composition/literature and composition/logic/rhetoric) for the second-semester course; (3) appointment of a university-wide committee to study the ways writing instruction can be improved across the university.
