English 444: Writing for the World Wide Web | Prof. Steven D. Krause | Eastern Michigan University

One of the things that’s kind of interesting/different about this class is that the last part the semester– and we’re definitely rounding the corner and coming to the end of the term– is really made up mostly of finishing up the work that we’ve been reading and talking about up to this point. For example, you’re all working on writing up contributions for the content strategy stuff right now based on reading and observations we made earlier in the term.
We’ve been through the peer review process a few other times already this term, so hopefully, you are all comfortable with the basic parts of the process. All I ask is that you use what you’ve learned so far this term to make the process even better for this last peer review.

BAWE (British Academic Written English) and BAWE Plus Collections

Overview of BAWE The British Academic Written English (BAWE) corpus was created through a project entitled 'An investigation of genres of assessed writing in British Higher Education' from 2004 – 2007. This project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (Project number RES-000-23-0800) and was a collaboration between the Universities of Warwick, Reading and Oxford Brookes. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/collect/bawe/
Writing Tools

Writing Intensive courses help produce an educated, articulate citizenry capable of reasoning critically, solving complex problems, and communicating with clear and effective language. MU’s writing requirement — English 1000, followed by two WI courses — is part of a 30-year-old trend in U.S. higher education known as “writing across the curriculum,” or “writing in the disciplines.”
