1) Perl writes in Composing Processes of Unskilled Writers (1979) that, “Editing is primarily an exercise in error-hunting. The students are pre-maturely concerned with the 'look' of their writing; thus, as soon as a few words are written on the paper, detection and correction of errors replaces writing and revising.” Drawing on your experiences as both students and teachers, do you agree?


2) Taking into consideration Shaughnessy's study in New York, can writing ever be "too bad" to be fixed?

3) Berkenkotter and Murray refer to external and internal revisions as part of the writing process. In your opinion, is one set more important that the other or does "good" writing rely on both?
