Book Description
Readin' + Writin' for the Hard-Hat Crowd explores the history of an urban public university from its conception in 1964 to the dawn of the twenty-first century. The reader views this place in time through the lens of the evolving nature of «freshman English», an introductory curriculum that began as four semesters of Great Books. The author, herself among those once labeled «the hard-hat crowd», received an undergraduate education similar to that experienced by her contemporaries at elite private colleges. Yet, while this school, once considered a poor man's Harvard, was founded with a mission to provide academic equity, the curriculum evolved to one that responded to pressure for relevancy and practicality.

ISBN: 9780809317134
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 228

Published for the Conference on College Composition and Communication, this volume offers teachers and researchers an annual classified listing of scholarship on written English and its teaching at the college level. The 1989 volume lists and annotates 1,857 articles, books, dissertations, and papers. A group of 127 contributing bibliographers prepared the citations and annotations for all entries. The volume includes an index of authors and editors, and cross-references entries according to subject matter. Entries appear under five major categories: bibliographies and checklists; theory and research; teacher education, administration, and social roles; curriculum; and testing, measurement, and evaluation. Although The CCCC Bibliography excludes master's theses, textbooks, computer software, and book reviews, it includes review essays, articles appearing in some 150 journals, scholarly books and essay collections, citations to dissertations abstracted in Dissertation Abstracts International, and selected documents and conference materials available through ERIC. Other bibliographies in the field of composition studies. The CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric is more comprehensive than other bibliographies in the field of composition studies. It also draws upon a large group of experts in the field to aid teachers and researchers in sorting through a vast body of interdisciplinary material, making their work easier and more effective.
