Title: Language Specialist
College/Department: International Center for Academic and Professional English (ICAPE)
Course: WRT-003 Composition & Literature I
Student Enrollment: 18
Proposal: WRT 003 is a first-year writing course, and students often enter it with varying levels of time management skills and expectations. I plan to create a short video to introduce the course, myself, and set expectations in order to ensure my teaching approach is the best fit for students. At the same time, this video will exemplify my passion for the course and encourage students to feel the same way.
Additionally, I’d like to create a digital landing page where students can engage with course material before Course Site officially opens. Most professors do not open their Course Site until class starts, yet students mention they want to open Course Site beforehand to get a sense of it. A digital landing page serves as a way to introduce course content, and students who register for WRT 003 will be better prepared for success, weeks before the course even begins.
