And the first video in the module…

1. I’m Jen Whiting and I teach first year writing at Baruch (and other places). I study education at the University of Illinois, specifically law enforcement education (currently pursuing a doctoral degree).
2. I’ll be working on ENG 2150 (Writing II).
3. Writing II is an intensification of Writing I. This course encourages students to read, reflect on, write about, and synthesize ideas from a range of genres and literary forms. Students examine and learn how to employ different styles, various appropriate uses of evidence and counter-evidence, multiple methods of interpretations, close readings of texts, and, finally, literary-cultural contextualizations. As the course proceeds, students further develop competency in the use and evaluation of multiple external sources as they shape and express their own ideas and cast them into well organized, thoughtful, and persuasive argumentative essays.
4. The lecture series, essay prompts, and course guidance materials.
