Patrick,
Thank you for your summary of some of the arguments McGill made to forestall a
writing competency test. I think they can help me explain to our WAC faculty
(and potential WAC faculty) why what they do is so important, and why surface
competency cannot/should not be the primary objective. I am particulalry
interested in your point about anticipating "regression" -- I had not
realized that this had been studied and "proven". It makes a lot of sense to
me.
