A guided approach to using college writing for everyone's learning
Faculty in every discipline are increasingly pressured to include
major writing components as part of their courses. Unfortunately,
as author and English professor Gary R. Hafer explains, college and
university educators often have little training in the use of
writing in the classroom. Embracing Writing elucidates the
principles of academic writing and shows instructors how to
integrate writing with course content, blending them to enhance and
deepen the higher education learning process. Scholarly writing is
a central part of the academic experience and, when used
effectively, can be an outstanding pedagogical tool. The creative
approach in Embracing Writing will have you looking at writing in a
whole new way. Not only will your students appreciate the honest,
nurturing, and fun writing assignments, but your own writing will
improve as well. This is not a rulebook for writers, but a guided
approach to viewing writing and content as one indivisible whole.
Embracing Writing will help you: * Engage students in writing
assignments that actually help them develop their writing ability *
Understand what makes good collegiate writing and how it can aid in
content discovery * Discover new pathways for your own writing so
writing for publication and the classroom is enjoyable again *
Develop a writing pedagogy that doesn't detract from core course
content delivery There often is a disconnect between administrative
demands for in-course writing and the inadequate training resources
available to faculty members. Because most of us aren't trained as
writers, we need a meaningful way to connect writing to our areas
of expertise. Embracing Writing provides that connection.
