Central to my teaching are: reading difficult texts, workshopping student writing, rewriting the texts and ideas of others, multimodal composing, and critical-creative tinkering. Please see my complete teaching philosophy.

At Wake Forest University, I have taught three versions of our first-year Writing Seminar:
  • Originality and Invention
  • Truth and Fiction
  • Rewriting

​I've also had the pleasure of teaching an intermediate writing course on the literary essay and an advanced course on handcrafted rhetorics. 

Below are some courses I taught at Wichita State University:
  • Theory and Practice in Composition, a course on composition theory and pedagogy for English Education majors
  • Business, Professional, and Technical Writing, a general education course for business, criminal justice, and other majors
  • Writing and Invention, a special topics graduate seminar for MA and MFA students
  • Professional, Technical, and Scientific Writing and Editing, a mixed undergraduate and graduate course giving students advanced experience with different kinds of professional writing

At Wichita State, I sucessfully proposed the following courses too:
  • Grammar and Style in Composition, a mixed undergraduate and graduate course for English and English Education majors
  • Current Theories in the Teaching of Writing, a graduate course introducing students to research in the field of rhetoric and composition
  • Writing and Research for Engineers, a graduate course focused on research writing for engineering students

Below are materials I developed while in graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh, where I also served as a mentor and facilitator with the Committee for the Evaluation and Advancement of Teaching (CEAT), Pitt's teacher training program. 
  • Seminar in Composition, first-year composition
  • Written Professional Communication, advanced composition for various majors
  • Writing for the Public, advanced composition for various majors
  • Introduction to Literature, writing-intensive introductory literature course for non-majors
