Margaret--and others: I think we have made headway in changing
students' views of what writing means. How? I'm not sure. But the
very act of coming to the Writing Centre with drafts and going
through the process of revising seems to teach them. Also a number
of profs are encouraging rewrites; thus the production of a piece of
"finished" writing in order to get a grade is being de-emphacized ,
at least by some.
I am most interested in this discussion, but am still very busy, so
don't have time to contribute as much as I'd like--at least right
now.
