Lateral reading for evaluating credibility

Please follow this link to a video recording of Asao Inoue’s address to the CCCC March 2019 in Pittsburgh, PA. As many of you know, this address triggered an impassioned response within the field of Comp/Rhet, on the WPA-L listserv, and even made it into Inside Higher Education. In Fall […]

CCCC 2019 Chair’s address

Colleagues, I highly recommend this brand-new issue of the Journal of Writing Assessment on the issues surrounding placement reform at two-year institutions. It offers a multi-faceted discussion of the myriad pedagogical, ethical, and political issues connected to the work we’re all currently doing.

KCC faculty letter to students, post-election

An old friend of mine from UW Madison published this succinct essay a few years ago on Inside Higher Ed.  It’s even more relevant now.

Instructional video for comp cloud

Here’s the link to the instructional video for submitting final papers to the comp cloud.  Thanks to Asif and his team for creating this! http://inside.kingsborough.edu/engmovie.mp4

Instructional video for comp cloud

I’ve been using this article, and the articles posted in the forum in response to it, in my Eng 12s this term.  I’m sharing it here because it reminds me of the work the CRC is doing on reconceptualizing the broad social purpose(s) of Eng 24.
