EDU 1050Weekly Writing Sessions1
All writers benefit from sharing and discussing their work with knowledgeable, interested readers. This course provides such an opportunity, pairing each student writer with a peer tutor from the Writing Studio for weekly one-on-one writing sessions. With the peer tutor's support, the student writer works on planning, drafting, revising, and editing papers assigned for other classes. Some students bring creative writing. Some use the sessions as check-ins during long research projects, bringing notes, insights, outlines, questions, and drafts. The Writing Studio director oversees the course. Grading is based on participation and a portfolio of work completed for other classes and worked on with the peer tutor. Students are evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. May be repeated up to a maximum of 2 credits.
This course is rooted in the theories and practices of “Personalized and Self-Regulated Learning.” Students explore the learning terrain–how we think and, as a result, learn through the various channels by which we absorb information. We reflect in order to become more effective and efficient learners. Each student works individually with an instructor to define and address areas of need, strength, and interest to enhance the college academic experience. Students are evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. May be repeated up to a maximum of 4 credits.
This experiential course combines community engagement with introductory study of theories, practices, and policies informing language and literacy education in the U.S.: both what is and what could be. Each semester, topics evolve to correlate with community-engaged experiences, and to respond to local and national trends. Activities evoke critical thinking about topics such as the primacy of “standard written English” in schools; approaches to sustaining heritage languages; censorship; technological and AI advances in language processing; and ties between literacy instruction and social change. Students put ideas into practice through observing, designing, and/or facilitating lessons through their community placements. GE: Oral and Written Communication
