Andrew Hollinger (@ashollinger) reads his chapter "You're Going to Need This for College." (Don't miss the joke: the author of the chapter is disagreeing with the bad idea stated in the chapter's title.) It's a chapter from Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E. Ball (@s2ceball) and Drew M. Loewe (@drewloewe). Kyle Stedman (@kstedman) produces the show and will be back as narrator next week.

Chapter keywords: FYC/first-year composition, high school to college transition, threshold concepts, writing pedagogy
