Do Two-Year College Students Write as Well as Four-Year College Students? Classroom and Institutional Perspectives

Jake Gaskins ; Dennis Holt ; Elizabeth Roeger

Abstract

Finds that the writing of the typical student enrolled in the community college composition class is qualitatively different from the writing of their four-year counterparts but that two-year college transfer students achieve the same level of writing competence as their nontransfer peers. Presents reactions of a two-year college instructor regarding implications of these results.
