I will begin sending out the Exploratory Survey on the Status of the Research Paper Assignment in First Year Writing/Composition Courses to Writing Program Administrators' email addresses this week. I will send both the cover letter, which contains confidentiality and informed consent statements, and the survey electronically, as email attachments.

However, if you prefer to access these materials through the web, I have created a website for you to do so.

The url is: http://researchpapersurvey.wetpaint.com.

Please note: In order to complete this version of the survey, you will need to copy and paste it from the website into a Word document. The formatting of the survey may mess up when you do this, and as you answer the survey questions, but do not worry about reformatting the text before sending it back. Once you have completed the survey, you can return it as an email attachment (.doc or .rtf) to hoodc@stockton.edu.

Thanks for your interest in this survey project and for your thoughtful responses.
