LYST 262 - Understanding What a Writer Knows


Semester Hours: 2
Periodically
This course addresses writing assessment, focusing specifically on the ways in which writing assessment is linked to instruction, and the manner in which writing serves as a means of identity development in young writers.

A module on reading process evaluation, specifically reading miscue analysis, is included. This course provides a seminar for a 20-hour practicum internship, LYST 262A  or 262B , taken concurrently.
