That's some research that needs to be done. And in general, I think there needs to be a lot more dialogue among faculty in two- and four-year institutions. We have a lot to learn from each other.

Since the 80s the course has dealt almost exclusively with the research paper at most four-year institutions, but I have been suprised to learn how many community college still teach it the old way: as a literary genres course with a research paper component.
