The Two-Year College on MLA Commons 11 years, 4 months agoJessica,
Thank you! When I took part in an MLA forum on the MA as a terminal degree, we discussed the need for faculty at the two year college to be trained in pedagogy, to be acquainted with the scholarship on the teaching of writing, and to be prepared to do research on the teaching of writing. Your program seems ideal.
