WRC 2012 - Writing Center Theory and Practice

1/2 Course Unit(s)
Writing Center theory draws upon movements in rhetoric, composition studies, digital literacy, education, social science (especially sociology and psychology), philosophy, gender studies and literary theory. Although an important goal of this class is to help prepare students to serve as peer-based writing consultants, its primary goal is to help participants develop a working knowledge of writing history, theory and pedagogy—a field of study that can be applied to both academic and professional environments. Participants will use readings, group activities and observations to help develop a sense of their own writing process. There is no overload fee for enrollment in this course.
