[Teaching_Composition] Modes or No Modes

[Brothers, Deborah]

I would be happy to reply to the request below, but I'm not sure if I should reply to the entire list or just to Justin.  Could someone comment?  I, too, am new to this listserv.

Best,

Deborah Brothes

---I'm wondering how many of your institutions teach
the modes, and if you find the modes valuable or without much merit in
Freshman Composition.  Some of us see little value in teaching modes,
while others feel they are necessary for students to know.  Also, what
are the objectives students must/should meet to successfully complete
their English requirement (especially in two-year colleges)--
