We are going to hire a compositionist for the 2008-2009 academic
year and will conduct interviews of finalists within the next
few weeks.

I am on the search committee and want to be sure that the candidate
I recommend places a high value on the importance of grammar and
punctuation in the writing process.

The WPA Outcomes statement for first-year composition puts a
knowledge of such conventions rather low on the list:

Any suggestions for questions for the interviews?
