I wouldn't worry too much. The survey *invites* students to choose FYC by positioning it with real and certainly tragic events. So it's very skewed. Students know it's a freebie, a way to poke fun at the course (for most of them required). -- Nick Carbone, Writers' Center Director CSU Writers' Center (http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/WritingCenter) ncarbone@lamar.colostate.edu
