DePaRtment of english (incluDes WPa aPPointment) In addition to my administrative role, I teach graduate level courses in Rhetoric & Professional Writing; undergraduate level courses in Composition and in Rhetoric & Professional Writing; and undergraduate level courses in the Digital Technology and Culture Program. Teaching these courses includes curriculum development, text selection, schedule planning, syllabus preparation, and assignment design, as well as assessment and guidance. Additionally, I meet with students for individual conferences on writing projects and design and implement critical peer review processes in class. Most courses are taught in computer mediated environments.
