		<description><![CDATA[I teach the first year composition sequence at a community college. These are required writing courses for all transfer students&#8211;the majority of the students who pass through the institution. With very few exceptions, I would say that these two courses are probably the least looked-forward to by students of the entire gen-ed curriculum. Many just [...]]]></description>

This is a project that I&#8217;ve been running for the past few years. It&#8217;s based on the national essay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each semester, I tell myself that I will write with my students&#8211;that I will complete each of the assignments that I ask them to complete (particularly in my creative writing classes). It makes sense, and after a number of semesters not doing this, I begin wondering if I am a bit of a hypocrite for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again when I ask my composition students to speak with conviction about what is important to them&#8211;about what they believe. I emphasize to them, though, that this project is not really about speaking at all; it&#8217;s about listening. So, please, in the spirit of peace, give a listen to what [...]]]></description>

My composition students finished strong by contributing to a collection of audio essays modeled after the national This I Believe series. I call it This I Know. Check out what my students have to say about their beliefs, and drop them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 1950s, William G. Perry developed a model of intellectual development to help understand the &#8220;positions&#8221; of intellectual and ethical growth that post-adolescent college students go through over the course of their college years. He describes nine different fluid &#8220;positions&#8221; across four categories: 1)&#160;dualism, 2)&#160;multiplicity, 3)&#160;relativism, and 4)&#160;commitment within relativism. When I first learned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My fiction writing class has just completed their &#8220;obstructions&#8221; project, which is always a hoot (for me anyway). The project is based on the creative methodology demonstrated in the Lars Von Trier film The Five Obstructions. In the film, Von Trier challenges his mentor&#8211;veteran film director Jørgen Leth&#8211;to remake his 1967 short film entitled &#8220;The [...]]]></description>
