Teaching Writing in CollegeAuthor: Tom Skeen
Teaching Writing in College explores the connections between writing pedagogy and learning transfer. Episodes emphasize praxis--the relationship between the theoretical and practical--in an effort to understand how people learn to write and how educators might make the most of the time they have with their learners. The driving question is: How can instructors in higher education leverage theory, science, pedagogy, and craft most effectively to help their learners with writing?

31. AI Policy, My Teaching Improvement Report, and More
Episode 31
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025
After my first week of teaching this semester, it's time for a report. I promised to share my AI policy, which will be first up in this episode. I'll also share my classroom "coaching" report. Earlier this summer, I discussed the possibility of adapting the way in which my favorite workout trainers try to motivate me to stay focused for the duration of my workouts. Did I do a good job during the first week in keeping my students focused on writing practice? I'll also share briefly how I used Cornell notes and how I feel I made a mistake in my presentation that may have disrupted students' working memory. I'd also like to discuss briefly what I plan to do this coming week--it's still early in the semester, so I need a way to get students to buy into the applicability of writing courses to other things they are doing: not just in an abstract way, but as concretely and immediately as possible.
