Abstract:
Time to Know Them: A Longitudinal Study of Writing and Learning at the College Level is the first book to follow the experiences of a group of students over their entire academic careers. Through interviews at regular intervals over 6 years, in addition to the collection of the students' papers written for all courses, observations of instructional settings, and analysis of required tests of writing, Marilyn Sternglass composes a portrait of writing and intellectual development more complete than any other researcher has been able to prepare.
An invaluable contribution to all fields concerned with literacy and writing education, this volume provokes all involved with education to reconsider their students - and the potential these students have to succeed - in the light of nonacademic factors.
