Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Local Knowledges, Local Practices provides an overview of Cornell's rich history and distinguished achievements in training students to write well. Including the views of professors representing a variety of disciplines - from animal science to political science, anthropology to philosophy, romance studies to neurobiology - this collection will serve as a resource for anyone interested in broadly conceived, discipline-specific writing instruction.

Críticas:

"Teachers have much to learn from this book about writing in other fields and what their first-year students can expect to be asked to do later in their education. Though facusing on writing programs and instruction. Local Knowledges, Local Practices offers a rare glimpse of a range of faculty reflecting on their practices as teachers (and learners)." - James Slevin, Georgetown University
