DeleteRuby Rosas Maria Morales (Writing about Writing: Rationale and Description)
ReplyDelete- We propose a radically reimagined FYC as an introduction to writing studies.
- The course includes researching, reading, and writing arguments.
- Students identify writing-related problems that interest them. They write reviews of existing literature on their chosen problems, and conduct their own primary research.
- At the end of each semester, students evaluated the course, both anonymously and in portfolio reflections.
Academic Discourse as a Category Mistake. Zabiel Cantu, Natalie Rodriguez, Lilly
ReplyDelete-Teachers are not conveying a good message to students as they're trying to understand the writing process (academic writing) as they are teaching it.
-The council of writing programs administrators didn't put the effort into teaching the teachers about what academic writing on what content, genre,what activity, context and what audience. which made the teachers just pick what they wanted to teach.
-Teachers are not taking the time to understand the student's needs. They assume that all students are capable of learning at the same speed, failing to understand that not everyone learns the same.

ReplyDelete"the open question transfer'
opens up so many assumptions in what truley will help students be successful writers. we do not know what genre will be most helpful to a specific student, instructions will hopefully help students in some kind of way.
Group#4 Yessica Martinez,Angel Almanza, Milton Plua.(Resisting Misconceptions ) *What can FYC do to prepare students for academic writing.
ReplyDelete*All good writing should have a thesis, clearly state in the introduction
*FYC could teach about the ways writing works in the world and how the "tool" of writing is used to mediate various activities.
Group #6 (Emily & Gabriela)
ReplyDelete-Writing studies were mainly designed to share care beliefs and misconceptions about writing.
-Students learn the conversational and subjective scholarly text.
-Knowing when to ask for experts opinion and different rules.
-Course draws research from principles to help understand the nature of writing and own practice.
