Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom

Beschreibung

Writing for College and Beyond: Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom explains how the many skills taught in the Freshman Composition course apply at work and in life. The composition class is a pre-requisite and General Education course for most colleges and universities in the United States. It reaches students in every area of study. As people wonder about the value of a liberal arts education and question whether colleges and universities are truly preparing students for the workforce, Writing for College and Beyond challenges those arguments by pointing out exactly how classroom policies and writing assignments apply beyond school walls. Professors, lecturers, and graduate students teaching Freshman Composition courses will find this book helpful. Administrators who service the Freshman Composition population, such as Writing Center Directors, will also find Writing for College and Beyond: Life Lessons from the College Composition Classroom a wonderful aid.

Rezensionen

"Kent's book is a must-read for any student, or graduate for that matter, looking to better understand why excellent writing begets excellent possibilities. The connections she draws between the fundamentals of writing and various industries are all too relatable as someone who majored in fiction writing and now works in advertising. I only wish I'd read this book earlier into my career. We have all been waiting for someone to write with clarity and gusto about the impact of school writing on future opportunities ...Well voila! Our prayers have finally been answered."-Kristen Berke, Senior Manager, Entertainment, LA Times
