Rhetoric and Writing Studies, Teaching Assistant 

​2013-2015

 

I personalized a programmatic curriculum and lesson planned for the two sections of RWS 1301 and RWS 1302. I provided students with a syllabus, calendar, list of texts and required materials, assignment handouts and rubrics and a well-organized, fully functional Blackboard shell. I held regular office hours, and consistently conducted class meetings during the scheduled dates and times. I commented on and graded all student work in a timely fashion; I had both midterm and final grades in before the deadline.

Throughout the semester, I stressed to students that writing is neither good nor bad, but is either effective or ineffective; the various traditional essays, multimodal assignments, peer reviews and one-on-one workshops, as well as the assignment reflection “blogs” were constructed to aid students in developing a comfortable composition process in which effective work was produced in various genres and for various discourse communities. I was also sure to introduce students to the various recourses which their tuition here at UTEP entitles them, encouraged their attendance at the RWS E-Portfolio Workshops and facilitated technology workshops with the ATLAS Lab.
