Default Puzzling sentences

Dear Great Teachers,
Are the following sentences correct grammatically ? If they are not, I need help. Thanks.
1. Further to our laconic discussion the other day, I attach a complete traning module for your perusal. Should there be any problem with the training module,please let me know so that the module in question can be re-written.
2. Which college do you attend ? or which college are you attending ?
Which sentence sounds better in terms of correctness.
Thanks.

Default Re: Puzzling sentences

1- laconic- I wouldn't use this here- it sounds as if you are cricising the person for not talking much
traning- training
the module in question- there is only one module, so this is unnecessary- use 'so that it can be rewritten'
2- Both are OK. If they're doing a longer course, then the first would be better. If they're doing a short course, then use the second.
