    Creator:
    Koneval, Addison B.
    Abstract:
    While grammar is a core aspect of written and oral communication, many find grammar instruction equally frustrating and boring, and as such, grammar receives very little formal attention in the university system (Hoffman). My thesis draws attention to this overlooked, and yet central component of composition, and asks a radical...

  • Modalities of responding to student writing : how the medium shapes the message

    Creator:
    Mosser, Sarah E.

    With the rapid development of new computer mediated technologies, instructors have more options of the modalities of responding to student writing.

Some of these technologies, such as word processing, mimic the text-on-page techniques...

  • Studying the most effective modes of marine science communication on plastic pollution in the oceans

    Abstract:
    The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s.

  • Creative Placemaking as a Composition Pedagogy

    Creator:
    Yerace, Marisa
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the ways in which creative placemaking, a neighborhood-based practice for building community, can offer community-building and civic action wisdom as a model for composition.
