EMU Writing Center

Before the first FYWP meeting(s), it would be great if folks could review the documents from the 2004-2006 assessment, since those will guide our work. They’re summarized here. Pay particular attention to the assessment report.

I’ve also uploaded an article that Heidi Estrem and I wrote about this process to electronic reserves. To access it, click the link, choose me (A-K) as the instructor, and go to ENGL000 - Readings for Others. It’s called “The Journey is the Destination.” (It’s coming out in a book that will be published this spring.)

Thanks to all of the folks who volunteered to be on the FYWC. This is the group that attends to policy/curriculum-level stuff for the program. This year, for instance, we’ll *likely* look at the outcomes; we’ll also definitely need to start working on a revision to the 120 reader pretty soon, since it’s due to Bedford-St. Martins in January.

If you want to be on the committee but missed the call (that went out via e-mail), just show up! Meeting times, all in the lounge:

Thanks to Steve K, we now have a blog back again. This will mean less e-mail to all of you, and more space to store links and things that are important for all of us. Thanks, Steve! For everyone, be sure to check this space often. I’ll send a message when there’s new stuff here. You can reply to posts, too (though I’m not sure you can put posts up… will check on that!).
