		<description><![CDATA[I teach the first year composition sequence at a community college. These are required writing courses for all transfer students&#8211;the majority of the students who pass through the institution. With very few exceptions, I would say that these two courses are probably the least looked-forward to by students of the entire gen-ed curriculum. Many just [...]]]></description>

Such is the pattern, it seems, each semester. But still, I thought this semester would be [...]]]></description>

The other day, I received this all-caps e-mail from a student&#8217;s mother. I changed the case because the all-caps hurt my eyes. Dear [...]]]></description>

This is part of a project I&#8217;ve been running for the past couple years called &#8220;This I Know&#8221; (I know a shameless rip-off of the better known NPR series.)

I emphasize to them, though, that this project is not really about speaking at all; it&#8217;s about listening. So, please, in the spirit of peace, give a listen to what [...]]]></description>
