Refers to a study that began at Stanford in 2001, focusing specifically on a student named Mark Otuteye. Otuteye is one of the participants in the study mentioned above; in fact, he was one of the most illustrious. The purpose of the study was to examine the writing habits of college students. Then, the researchers asked students to submit everything they had written both in and out of class. Otuteye submitted approximately 700 writings, ranging from essays written for classes to poems he wrote for non-academic reasons. Both sides of the writing skills question are examined by Keller. One side embraces the cultural richness that comes from the “new” form of writing. Meanwhile, others believe it is corrupting the perfected system that is traditional academic writing. The author examines both sides using sources from each to inform the reader. Keller leaves his conclusion rather open-ended, allowing the reader to decide for himself which side he is on
