Session Results: (reported by Rita Malenczyk, for herself, Linda Bergmann, and Barry Maid)

Outcomes:

1) Academic writing: students should acquire the ability to treat the same data in multiple formats (e.g., audience, genre, length), and to recognize differences in discourses and move appropriately among those discourses

2) Students should acquire confidence in their ability to control features of their writing, willingness to do what's necessary to carry out a writing assignment or task, and understanding of writing as a lifetime practice

3) Students should come to an understanding of the different kinds of work that writing can do

4) Students should come to an understanding of their own writing processes and begin to develop the ability to adapt those processes to particular situations

5) Students should develop the ability to comment on/annotate texts, both those of their colleagues (for peer review) and those of published authors

6) Collaborative writing: students should learn to balance the ability to rely on others with the responsibility of doing their own part.
