Teaching freshman rhetoric & composition with anything like effectiveness demands continual innovation and constant revision: fresh ideas and approaches blended and balanced with successful staples to get near a sort of pedagogical titration. The former First-Year English Program at Marquette, now in its latest incarnation as Foundations in Rhetoric, offers as much reward as challenge – as well as many opportunities to reflect extensively on my pedagogical philosophy and classroom praxis. You can find both here, as well as a cherry-picked handful of student evaluations and teaching artifacts (handouts, worksheets, presentations, &c.) I’ve (re)developed since 2011. When it comes to teaching, shameless theft is the sincerest form of flattery, but please make sure to preserve any citations & attributions you find (and add one for me as well!).
