ENG 490 — Contemporary Composition Theory and Pedagogy
The primary purpose of this course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge about how to teach writing. Students will read a variety of materials regarding composition theory and pedagogy, with the goal of developing their own philosophy about the teaching of writing. As a means of helping them to develop this philosophy, and in order for them to develop greater awareness and understanding of the writing process, students in this course will also be required to tutor in the Writing Center for course credit. This course is the capstone course for Communication Arts and Literature/Secondary Education majors.
