ENGL 400 - Thesis

Upper Division

Designed to support graduate students preparing for their first semester teaching English 4, this course creates a productive community where instructors and the course directors can discuss teaching strategies and philosophies related to the teaching of writing. Students will be asked to think critically, reflectively, and deeply about their work as teachers of writing, and they will receive guidance in working with the course structure and materials. Some time will be spent developing materials that reflect both the program’s and the students’ goals for learning. Course texts, assignments, and discussion aim to provide an introduction to composition pedagogy and offer the opportunity to experiment with and combine pedagogical stances.

Course credits: 3.0
