{"product_id":"9780809329564","title":"The Community College Writer: Exceeding Expectations","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile there have been several studies of writing programs at larger, baccalaureate institutions, the community college classroom has often been overlooked. Authors Howard Tinberg and Jean-Paul Nadeau fill this gap with \u003ci\u003eThe Community College Writer\u003c\/i\u003e, a systematic and unique case study of first semester writing students at a community college. Drawing on surveys, interviews, and samples of classroom assignments, Tinberg and Nadeau use their research at one community college to reach out to instructors throughout the nation, fostering communication between community college faculty members in the effort to establish full-fledged writing programs geared toward student success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book are the voices of the students themselves, as they discuss both their teachers’ expectations and their own. Through a series of case studies, the authors reveal the challenges students face as budding writers, and their firsthand experiences with writing programs at the community college level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this informative study, Tinberg and Nadeau seek not only to encourage dialogue between student and teacher or community college instructors, but to expand the conversation about program improvement to include both two- and four-year colleges, bringing composition faculty together in an effort to improve writing programs in all schools. Included in the volume are seven appendices, including surveys and interviews with faculty and students, making \u003ci\u003eThe Community College Writer \u003c\/i\u003ea comprehensive and practical guide to tackling the issues facing writing programs and instructors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007728107760,"sku":"9780809329564","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809329564_p0.jpg?v=1763741960","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809329564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
