My colleage, Paul Gruba, and I have just taken up new appointments as Lecturers in Communication Across the Curriculum. This project is very new for Australian universities. It is only in its 3rd year. There are no obligatory freshman composition or similar subjects at most Australian universities.
Students choose which mode they want to focus on.
We'll see how that goes, as our school year is only just beginning. Meanwhile, the CAC project will be attacking such issues by other means, in the manner of WAC and SAC programs. Looking forward to learning from you all.
