Conversation at a Crucial Moment: Hybrid Courses and the Future of Writing Programs

Catherine Gouge

Abstract

Because hybrid first-year college writing programs are an emerging phenomenon, it is important for composition specialists to identify their potential strengths and possible disadvantages. The author reviews the various forms that such programs have taken so far, and she engages in an extended critique of one particular institution’s model, questioning especially its claims to objectivity.
