I apologize for cross posting.
I'm conducting an informal survey of Engineering and/or Technical
Communication courses (however, information about freshman composition
courses will also be appreciated). Please respond to the following
questions:
1. In what year of the university studies is your course offered?
2. Is it a term- or a year-long course?
3. How many contact hours a week do you have? What do they consist of
(lectures, tutorials, workshops, etc.)?
4. How many students are usually enrolled in your course? Do they all
come from the same discipline?
5. How many sections are offered simultaneously?
6. What is the instructor/student ratio?
7. Are there TAs in the course? If so, what are their duties? What is
the TA/student ratio?
8. How many written assignments does an instructor (TA) mark per term?
9. Are the students required to produce drafts of their written
assignments? If so, who provides feedback on drafts (instructor, TA,
peers, etc.)?
10. Does the course include an Internet component? If so, what does this
component consist of (interactive web site, on-line tutorial, electronic
discussion group, etc.)?
I would greatly appreciate your responses.
