Freshman Composition "Can" Prepare Students for Real Life.

Dukes, Thomas; Tebeaux, Elizabeth

Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v15 n3 p153-56 Oct 1988

Includes Thomas Dukes' rebuttal to Elizabeth Tebeaux's "The Trouble with Employees' Writing May Be Freshman Composition" (v15 n1) and Tebeaux's response. Dukes argues that inept freshman composition experiences are not the fault of the course itself. Tebeaux contends that freshman composition courses overemphasize expressive discourse. (RAE)
