The article discusses research conducted by the journal on the amount of academic writing that is completed by undergraduates studying business or education at four-year schools in Texas. It was found that there were few courses that required students to write papers of 10 or more pages. This issue is the subject of the book "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa. The educational benefits of academic writing are considered. The research methods used by Arum and Roksa and the journal are discussed.
