Читать книгу Engaging Ideas - John C. Bean - Страница 6

More than any single text, Engaging Ideas has had a profound and lasting influence on the writing‐across‐the‐curriculum movement in the United States and around the world. This third edition, now written collaboratively by John Bean and Dan Melzer, promises to extend that influence with several new areas of coverage while retaining all the original features that have made it such a groundbreaking work.

Engaging Ideas, Third Edition, retains the very best features of John Bean's now classic first and second editions, while adding a new coauthor, Dan Melzer, along with new pedagogies based on the most current writing research and practice. The result is an even more practical nuts‐and‐bolts compendium of ideas to help students incorporate critical thinking into their writing. As someone who has relied on Engaging Ideas for faculty development since 1996, I know that busy faculty from every discipline will find the third edition an essential component of their work going forward.

It's good news that Engaging Ideas​ is back again in a new edition. It continues to offer first‐rate, practical advice about how to teach with writing that has been updated with recent research. Of particular note are the many examples showing how to teach with writing, including how to make assignments, how to motivate students to revise, how to use reflection to enhance student learning, and how to respond helpfully to student projects.
