Thanks, Catherine Schryer. Your and Will's entries are very helpful. >They also have to have two language based courses in their first year as >well as 7 literature courses and 2 computer courses. Do you mean foreign language courses? And in terms of computer courses, do they take those in computer science or do you mean they learn writing with computers? >We also have a co-op work program at Waterloo which helps a great deal in >terms of keeping up with software innovations. There is no way we have the >resources to keep up with changes in software or even to really teach them-- >but the co-op program does help as it provides many of our students with the >on-job training that we cannot provide. Would the students work at software companies? Or would they work _with_ software at some place of employment? This does sound like a very comprehensive program. When was it created? Is it still in flux? Are there many students currently majoring in this? BTW, I'm finding your and Lawrence Steven's book _Contextual Literacies: Writing Across the Curriculum_ very useful for my project. Is WAC happening at Waterloo? Thanks again, Catherine. Tania.
