Or even managing appointments to discuss writing. > Or is it only writing centre people who have to keep facing these > things directly, since we must keep teaching students in whatever > circumstances or state of (mis)understanding: we can't hide behind > course structures or marking schemes.... And if the rest of us _choose_ not to hide (and I suspect most CASLLers would so choose), we face them too. -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
