The undergraduate course, since it&#8217;s new and we were designing it from scratch, took the lion&#8217;s share of the time – although it was nice to be able to work alongside the ultra-competent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Off the wall question:  I keep encountering a particular formulation in the work of quite good students who are trying to outline their methodology for research projects.  It&#8217;s not unusual for someone to say something like:  &#8220;My method is discourse analysis&#8221;.
