The mary-go-round is always the same no matter where you sit.

When starting to read Ball Point Handbook it sounded all very familiar to me. The core goal for writing program is very much like FCS core goal for their students and I am sure its goes for many majors/departments. They want you to be able to take what you learn out into the community. You will need what you learn here for your future. After the core beliefs it just went on and on about things we have talked about. Then in chapter 2 , when it started to talk about writing,while it what was new to me didn't it keep my attention. My one wish is that required reading of a handbook was more entertaining.
