01_03-what is academic writing ak

Professor Denise Comer

Teaching, like writing, is a collaborative process. The ideas you see in this course bear

the influence of many past and current colleagues, as well as the many gifted scholars

in writing studies who publish their arguments and ideas. I am especially grateful to

faculty at the University of South Carolina Department of English 1995-2000, faculty at

Chico State University Department of English, 1998-99, and faculty in the Thompson

Writing Program at Duke University, 2000-2013. Wherever I have drawn more specifically

from a colleague or text, I have done my best to acknowledge it directly. If you see an

acknowledgement I may have inadvertently overlooked, please post it to the Class

Materials forum so I can review it and, if needed, make the correction.
