Education Reform and the Limits of Discourse: Rereading Collaborative Revision of a Composition Program's Textbook
Ross, Christine
College Composition and Communication, v55 n2 p302-329 Dec 2003
This article links failed reform to failed education through a case study of an annual collaborative revision of a program textbook in the Composition Program at the University of California at Irvine. Review of successive editions of the program's "Student Guide to Writing at UCI" reveals a progressive retreat from the program's pedagogical commitments and the reappearance of product-oriented instruction. (Contains 9 notes.)
