- W2077181824 abstract "Having been asked to discuss writing assignments, I hope not to have been cast as the department comp dog, whose job is to bark at the heels of other faculty members so they will do their dreary compositional duty. For though in some places an assignment is still an interesting event?the ad signum still a signaling toward a certain one, a special allotting or appoint ing or singling out, a little drama of destiny (Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it. . .)?in higher education assignment suggests standardization and drudgery (Attention, class; here is your assignment for tomorrow). Even my visiting mother-in-law, asking what topic I'd address, made a face at the answer. Hearing that my audience would be department chairs, she gave a comprehending ah, which I paraphrase as follows: Writing assignments and department chairs are necessary evils of the same bureaucratic kind. The assignment is a way of riding herd on students, of checking up on them and quantifying their performance. The department chair rides herd on faculty members, checking up on them and quantifying their performance. Your topic is therefore apt for your audience. Although this assessment is unfair to both topic and audience, I will focus here on the former and consider some aspects of writing assignments that are more than bureaucratic?that indeed have directly to do with the imagination?and that are apt for a panel on curriculum reform. I say perhaps because I speak as an outsider to English departments. I teach" @default.
