Summary
  1. "There have been several studies of college student writers' development across the undergraduate years, but this book is the largest and most comprehensive because it includes extensive data on 169 students, and each chapter raises different questions and offers a new perspective on writerly development.

While there is no shortage of complaints about writing skills in the general population, there is relatively little appreciation for and understanding of the kinds of investments, of both funds and commitment, necessary to address this need.
