Experience
University of Utah
Graduate Teaching Assistant, Department of Writing and Rhetoric Studies
I currently teach an on-campus section of Writing 3015, Professional Communication, which gives students real-world experience writing job search documents, policy statements and grant proposals. I also teach an online section of Writing 4001, Business Plans and Proposals. In the past I have taught several sections of Writing 2010, Intermediate Academic Writing.
Student feedback from recent courses:
"Professor was readily accessible. She was always available. She was more than happy to walk us through new content. She throughly understood that we are students we look to our professor to set the tone of the class as well to teach us."
"Marsha is one of the best online instructors I've had as far as involvement goes. I felt that the instructor consultations were extremely effective, and I've never had an online professor do that before. Thank you for being so accessible."
"Great professor!! Very knowledgable and well organized which is very helpful for us full time workers and full time students! She answers questions in a great timely manner when e-mailed, she is very knowledgable and helped me learn a lot in this course. I would take anything she teaches in future classes if she teaches in the masters program."
"I have loved this entire class and its structure. Everything is paced well, the assignments all feel purposeful, and I have enjoyed what I have learned so far. The fact that we work with actual clients was a little scary at first, but real-world practice is extremely important and necessary."
"Marsha, you have been very helpful and encouraging throughout the semester even as many life events have hindered my participation. Had it not been for your ongoing contact I would have given up on completing this course some time ago. Thank you!"About.com
