Yes, I enjoyed that pair of articles.  I tend to side with Erica, though
I can also see some of Gary's points.  But all of this hinges on what
role the freshman course is to play in the educational goals of the
university.  Is it "last chance for culture"?  Is it "introduciton to
university studies"?  Is it a place where students feel comfortable
sharing the stresses of their other courses?  Is it a workshop?  A
therapy session?  A place to show off the neatest things graduate
students have just learned in their seminars?

How are various schools doing at defining their educational missions,
and the place of freshman comp within it?
