Whether accomplished through seminars or Gen Ed sections, the teaching of prose exposition must include as much individual consultation between teacher and students as possible. Present sections often fail in this respect. While it may never be possible to institute individual conferences instead of sections (Harold Martin, Director of Gen Ed A, stresses that the number of personnel that can be recruited is limited) there is need for more individual consultation than now exists. Perhaps experiments in decreasing the number of sections per term in order increase time for student-instructor conferences would help strengthen teaching...
