In written communication, a writer's intended meaning can seem much more clear to the writer than it will appear to the reader.

Novice writers can struggle with this, worrying that they are being too obvious or believing their point has been adequately explained, and as a result, they can err on the side of under-explaining.

This challenge compounds where writing is used to demonstrate content knowledge and learners are attempting at once to both understand and communicate effectively.

(#wordnerd #Englishnerd #rhetcomp factoid of the day: that sentence above is an example of a chiasmus ;)

You'll see chiastic patterns in a lot of sonnets and poems.)

Of course I read that ridiculous Chronicle Review (lol) essay “Against the #WritingCenter “ and immediately lost my ability to be articulate about the utter ignorance on display about #WritingPrograms and #rhetcomp and WCs and the troubling opinions about what constitutes helpful written feedback for undergraduate (and graduate students)…

This whole #ChatGPT AI-generated writing technology is terrifying to me. The cat's out of the bag - we *have* to learn to work WITH new technologies rather than trying to work against it. The question is how.

Structurally, I think that at the very least, I think most two-class writing programs (basic comp course + a more in-depth research/argument course) will be cut down to one required course. Admins looking to cut costs will be looking at this very closely, I think.

Hello #Introduction
I'm a 2-yr-college prof in US Midwest. I teach first-year comp and co-req. I started teaching writing as a TA in the late 1980s, got a PhD in Rhet/Comp in the 1990s at Purdue. Flailed until I got a CC job then I was home, been almost 20 years.
I'm here to keep learning, so TIA for posting the readings :)

I changed servers to #humanities commons and lost my #introduction post. So here's a repeat: I profess English in #Idaho (lit, tech comm, and comp). I write fiction and personal essays about the #AmericanWest. I study #literature of the American West, mostly 20th C fiction and film. My research interests include the study of #genre the concept and individual genres (especially #westerns and #gothic), settler colonialism, representations or #water and #aridity, #narrative, and #Dylan (Bob). I watch too much soccer when I should be writing. #litstudies #rhetcomp #arsenalfc #westernlit
