520 |a At the intersection of teaching and learning, this guide is intended to introduce and update disciplinary faculty on contemporary writing principles and pedagogy. In addition, it is designed to: alert faculty to the ways in which effective writing helps students not only show what they have learned but also to learn, generate, and communicate knowledge; recognize the form the literature of their discipline takes; identify what constitutes competent writing in a particular field; promote writing as a natural and regular part of content area instruction; help students begin to live the mental lives of their professional counterparts; produce student writing that is readable, lucid, and logical and seeks applicability within and beyond the academic discipline; help faculty respond insightfully to writing; know when students need help in writing/thinking that disciplinary faculty can no linger give; and create in departments and/or the college community a philosophical coherence on writing instruction. Chapters in the guide are (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Prewriting and Invention"; (3) "Drafting and Revising"; (4) "Editing and Proofreading"; (5) "Processes of Inquiry"; (6) "Using Sources"; (7) "Research Project or Critical/Analytical Paper"; (8) "Academic Forms of Writing"; (9) "Designing Writing Assignments"; (10) "Sequencing Writing Assignments"; (11) "Responding to and Evaluating Writing"; and (12) "Collaboration, Conferences, and Computers." A three-part appendix contains evaluation forms; checklists; exercises; articles on topics such as stress, plagiarism, and the scientific method; course descriptions, course proposal guidelines, and ways to evaluate textbooks.
