"...the beating curricular heart of the university"

2 January 2020: "What would happen if through some magic spell, first-year comp became the beating curricular heart of the university? What if what was best about composition teaching became the pedagogical default instead of the exception? What if we provided better pay for comp instructors, organized courses around different principles and asked students to slow down and reflect?" --Deborah L. Williams, "How First-Year Comp Can Save the World"

A great way to start the new year: a reminder of the power and potential of first-year writing classes!
