In reply to: obitchecker 's message, "The first three assignments I would give students at the start of composition class, if I taught it. Do you think this is a good idea? (Yes, it's relevant)" on Sun, May 17, 2009 10:12:29

Anybody that ever debated knows that you have to argue FOR the issue you are designated to discuss, whether you agree with it or not.

And yes it would be a good assignment.
