Descripción
Sumario:The WPA Outcomes Statement is important because it represents a working consensus among composition scholars about what college students should learn and do in a composition program. But as a single-page document, the statement cannot convey the kind of reflective process that a writing program must undertake to address the learning outcomes described. The Outcomes Book relates the fuller process by exploring the matrix of concerns that surrounded the developing Statement itself, and by presenting the experience of many who have since employed it in their own settings.
Notas:This volume of essays reflects on the process that led to the development of the "WPA outcomes statement," and includes debate on the many theoretical, pedagogical, political, and assessment issues that the outcomes statement raises.
