Written Communication includes images, audio, and video, and with still emerging forms of writing on the internet, the study of writing today has never been more important.

Bedford Bits: Ideas for Teaching Composition » About LORE

This journal is designed to provide a forum for sharing knowledge, building communities, and voicing concerns about what happens in the classroom. LORE is a site for exploring and discussing experimental pedagogies and for engaging in lively, personal reflections about professional matters that inspire and irritate. It is also a place in which instructors may air grievances about how the academy relies upon yet undervalues their expertise. LORE is edited by assistant professors, adjuncts, and graduate students who have been teaching composition for a number of years and who care about composition as both a philosophical discipline and a lived experience.

Writing doesn’t have to hurt. As a longtime writer who finds the process excruciating much of the time, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make writing less of a battle.

Writing doesn’t have to hurt

(So far, I’m finding blogging to be more engaging and less painful than writing for others for pay, but I still need strategies to manage longstanding habits of anxiety around writing.) So it’s encouraging to come across the work of Robert Boice,* a professor emeritus of psychology at Stony Brook University. In How Writers Journey to Comfort and Fluency, Boice claims that good writing doesn’t have to hurt—that, in fact, “mild happiness” is the most productive state for writing and for the problem-solving that goes with it. I believe his approach could work for other creative endeavors too. Many writers, including me, are quick to seize on the pain of writing as a badge of honor, a sign that you’re serious and thoughtful about your work. Don’t go on a bender. CompFAQs / Home browse.

Vor einigen Wochen ging es auch durch die deutschsprachige Presse (hier stellvertretend der Link zur Meldung bei heise.de (3)): Das Middlebury College in Vermont, genauer das Departement für Geschichte, gab folgende Weisung zuhanden der Studierenden aus.

“Whereas Wikipedia is extraordinarily convenient and, for some general purposes, extremely useful, it nonetheless suffers inevitably from inaccuracies deriving in large measure from its unique manner of compilation. Therefore be it resolved that students in all history classes be informed early in each term through additions to syllabi and to senior thesis instructions that: 1) Students are responsible for the accuracy of information they provide, and they cannot point to Wikipedia or any similar source that may appear in the future to escape the consequences of errors. 2) Wikipedia is not an acceptable citation, even though it may lead one to a citable source.” (4) Der Entscheid löste einiges an Reaktionen aus.
