she got course credit last semester for writing a letter to a paper that gets published. She wrote a letter about air pollution levels next to RT 66 in Arlington, and this was at a time that the highway was being opened up to single driver cars willing to pay a toll instead of just carpoolers. So the paper was looking for letters related to the highway. It was perfect timing. she had taken a high school class the year before where they went out and measured air quality by the highway and at other locations, so she had real data to cite.
That's when I noticed that many of the letters written to the local paper were by college students. Presumably also looking for course credit.
