Research Projects/Interests

I am currently involved in the following research projects:

1. English 20: For several semesters, another instructor and I have engaged in a study of the effects of audience awareness on student writing. What we are attempting to discover is whether or not writing for a genuine audience--as opposed to a fictional supposed audience--helps students become clearer, more succinct, more thorough, and, thus, more persuasive in their essays. Responding to essays of participating students is done collaboratively.

2. Service Learning: I am looking at developing a service learning course that is part of a learning community. Such a course would enable students to have real life experiences to reflect on in formal paper assignments.

3. Mentors: I am putting together a grant proposal regarding use of mentors in English 1.
