My opinion hasn’t changed much after reading my peers discussion posts. Most of my peers including myself were just reviewing the claims in the article provided. That being said I didn’t get any new information to change my view or opinion on the subject. There are two sides in this article the instructors and the instructed. I side with the instructed where I found that English would be more effective rolled into another coarse, because the students have all the tools they need to learn to write for their discipline. I believe that the problem that the teachers of the other disciplines are having is that they don’t enforce the literary quality that they desire. Now, the instructors claim that this would increase their work load and be unreasonable. Well, I would counter with if it is too much then they should lower the number of students taken on, or the number of classes taught. I don’t know much about the logistics of how universities and professors make money so no one should take my options seriously on the matter.
