Q. I need to find some "freshman standards" my professor told us about.

There is a "Guidelines and Standards for General Education" PDF that seems to sbe what people are looking for.  It can be found by going to the MTSU Website, then the Department of English (from the A-Z list). Look for "For Students" in the text of the page. Click on it to go to the Resources page.  "Guidelines and Standards for General Education" is the document the students need.  It comes in a PDF file.
