What To Expect in Justin Rogers-Cooper ENG 220 Teaching Writing Seminar

The Seminar in Teaching Writing combines three hours of class discussion of theory and practice of teaching writing with an hour of actual classroom experience as an observer in the writing center and as a tutor in ENG 101 or ENG099 classrooms. In class discussed numerous readings on writing theory and the practice of teaching and tutoring methodologies. My classmates and I have worked with students on a composition or basic writing class helping them practice for the CATW exam. We have observed tutors in the writing center for the first weeks of the semester and during the second half we tutored under supervision of the professor himself walking around the classroom making sure things went smoothly. This Professor is simply one of the best English professors I've ever had who is very dedicated to teaching. As a student all you have to do is to make sure you hand in your assignments, participate, attendance, blogs, essays, read the amazing readings, and quizzes and you will get a good grade. His class went further than English writing, Ive learned so much from professor Rogers-Cooper such as how important creativity is in learning. He works with you to help your writing and allows essay revisions until the last week of class.  His syllabus is very clear and tells you exactly how the class will go and what to expect. Overall, you will enjoy yourself being in such a great class as much as I did.
