出版社：Association of Teachers of Advanced Composition
摘要：The first-year composition requirement at Murray State University was revised
in 2008 from a 6-credit-hour, two-semester sequence to a 4-credit-hour, one-semester
course. The revision overtly emphasizes critical reading, writing, and inquiry, while
addressing the realities of the institution’s resources for teaching first-year
composition. This profile describes the reasons behind the revision and the process of its
implementation, contextualizing the change within the background of the university and
burgeoning writing program. The methods and results of an assessment of the revised
course in comparison to the previous course sequence are outlined in depth, along with
how the assessment guides the instruction, administration, and future assessment of
writing at the university.
