WRIT5532

WRIT 5532 is designed to be a collaborative, developmental, and exploratory space for new graduate instructors in the First Year Writing (FYW) program. Students will engage texts and podcasts, as well as their experience teaching WRIT1301 as we focus on:
-How do people learn, how do they learn writing, and how can instructors teach writing based on those understandings?
-How can instructors design environments, materials, and practices that equitably help students learn about writing and develop as writers?

Class discussions and assignments also invite students to identify and address challenges, tensions, and pedagogical issues of personal interest; to develop habits of mind that will serve them in other classrooms in their teaching careers; and to articulate the classroom practices and pedagogies informing their teaching philosophies.

Course meetings/structure: hybrid, students will meet in person, 1:1 with instructor, and complete guided and supported asynchronous work.
