Papers are deemed exemplary if they: v Are completed according to assignments’ purposes. The following is the rubric we have applied in making the selections. Reflecting Montaigne’s seminal design and our philosophy of the writing across the curriculum at all levels of learning, ESSAI witnesses the “trials” and “attempts” of students’ minds as they engage with various issues and assignments. And it is to him that we owe our tradition of college essay writing. It has become our editorial tradition to give a few brief words on the anthology name and the selection rubric: first, the name ESSAI derives from Michel de Montaigne, who, in the 16th century, created a new literary form called “essays.” To Montaigne, essays were “attempts” or “trials,” a means of testing his response to different subjects and situations. We also hope that this volume will add to our enriching dialogue – among students and instructors - about writing as a vital part of the academic experience at the College of DuPage. It is our hope that this volume will become a good resource for both students and instructors. We believe readers will find much to admire in the writing that follows. Among the works included in this volume of multidisciplinary selections are expository and reflective essays, literary and film criticism, research projects, and science reports. The anthology also exemplifies the notion that good writing stimulates analytical and creative thinking, records information, demonstrates learning, and communicates writerly effort and integrity in a flawless, eloquent, and graceful manner. Volume IV continues to anthologize and acclaim COD students whose writing exhibits skill, scholarship and sophistication. Our heartfelt editorial appreciation and pride go to our student artist, Teri De Tolve, whose front cover art adorns this volume.įoreword We are pleased to present Volume IV of ESSAI, The College of DuPage Anthology of Academic Writing Across the Curriculum 2005-2006.
