One Failure Made All the Difference
By guest blogger Bob Wilson I graduated some years back from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). While I was there, UNI implemented a writing competency exam. All students had to pass the test in order to graduate. I thought – no problem, as I’ve always done well in school and been good at taking…
Reluctant but Ravenous Guest Blogger
