I confess, I found Lawrence Yap's piece just so much tedious academy bashing. It's all too easy to do. I don't really feel like it warrants publishing anywhere. Though like Margaret, I wonder what others think. Further, I think Margaret has distilled out some really interesting questions (trust Margaret to find the kernel): > In what ways can writing instructors > nurture creativity within the academy? Should we keep on justifying > academic essays (including working with instructors to shape > assignment design and to respond appropriately)? To what extent is it > our mission to encourage students to bend and break the rules to > express their knowledge and ideas? And I'd be really interested in hearing people's responses to these.
