So exciting! Many thanks to @UofMPress and everyone who helped make this happen!

@dowellml I think you need to grade participation, not attendance. My understanding when teaching in Chicago was that attendance was required to fulfill reporting for Pell grants for students (something like that). So we had to have attendance records, but we didn’t tie them to grades

@smhumphreys @CASDW_ACR @CWCAssoc @booksnook @902hali Outcomes: what can students do in the years after studying with us? Connections: how do students use what they learn with us in other kinds of studies/learning?

https://t.co/01tGktMx6m via @UA_magazine Great piece on how to improve undergraduate student writing!

@FanaticsSupport My order has not arrived. The tracking shows it has sat in a local delivery warehouse for 10 days without a delivery being attempted. There is no way to contact the Canadian site to talk to a person in English and the virtual assistant is useless.

@Sparbtastic I think the National Film Board site might be a good resource, too https://t.co/6pPlIeJgYK

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@Sparbtastic Check out CBC Gem (app). There’s one called Dreamland: the burning of Black Wall Street, another called Coral Ghosts: pretty sure they are free to view

@JBuriak We have used these successfully with UAlberta students in the sciences so I am pretty comfortable recommending them

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@JBuriak Your welcome! They also have a series of shorter books (UMichigan Press) https://t.co/dtkLklLZrQ including one focused on abstracts

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@JBuriak Academic Writing for Graduate Students by Swales and Feak is a must have

Canadian writing Centre peeps: I’m happy to share a new publication with @902hali that will help you argue for funds to build supports for digital writing: https://t.co/083IeSixOy @CWCAssoc @CASDW_ACR

@DarrochHeidi One of the colleges at U of T has its own program, run now by @writing_andrea and UTM is starting one run by @UtmTyler

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@DarrochHeidi I don’t think there were too many “divorces” in Canadian programs: Waterloo has kept it unified, Western’s writing program has been re-absorbed into English; but Winnipeg’s has always been separate; U of T’s and York’s were never part of English.

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@DarrochHeidi No, but the history of this seemed to be tied to the way speech communication programs in the US did not cross the border and instead became more mass communication focused. About the 1980s and 1990s

[Roger Graves @rogergraves]

@DarrochHeidi Maybe start here? https://t.co/AuHbDf04Iz. Work needs to be updated, too. Dana Landry’s phd diss. At UBC a couple of years ago might also be useful
