I don't have an answer for you, Gary, but I suspect that a lot of the variability we see in incoming students reflects a lot of variability at the high-school level, and induces a lot of variability in the "college-level" work. Sometimes I'm teaching high-school (or even grade-school) writing, and other times I'm helping polish a very good paper -- from students in the same first-year core class.
