COMPOSITION’S ETHIC OF SERVICE, THE UNIVERSAL REQUIREMENT, AND THE DISCOURSE OF STUDENT NEED

Abstract

supporters have argued that composition instruction served the needs of the academic community, as well as those of students and the community at large, by teaching students to write error-free expository prose. Since the late nineteenth century, this instrumental ethic has provided most American colleges and universities with a rationale for requiring introductory compo sition courses of all students.
