"My main goal was to have students write a longer (10-page) paper with several rounds of revisions. Pedagogically, I also wanted to experiment with teaching writing in the same way one would teach art or music."
"In the first part of the class, we read three papers, which the students chose from a menu I provided. For each paper, we spend one week discussing the paper as I would in a traditional class, with a fair amount of lecturing and reading questions."
"Students take a lot of time in class to work on their writing together, talking to me and/or each other as necessary, the way you would in a library or coffee shop."
"The course had to include a lot of peer review, and different types of writing assignments, and it had to be accessible to any junior philosophy major."
