    Professor of Integrated Reading and Writing

    Reading and Writing are integrated into two courses, designed to improve students’ literacy skills, which in turn lead to success in all courses requiring college-level reading and writing. This involves assessing student strengths, needs, and learning styles and adjusting course goals and assignments relevant to each of these. This often includes reading and study strategies as well as practical writing instruction.
