Research Question: How can inexperienced writers find their authentic voices in college writing courses?   Bartholomae, David. Writing on the Margins: Essays on Composition and Teaching. Bedford/St. Martins, 2005. These essays (a collection of articles written over the span of Bartholomae’s career) depict a socially conscious, student-centered teacher and scholar. Recurrent throughout Bartholomae’s work is an insistence that there is nothing “wrong” with basic writers; like all writers, they struggle to adapt to the foreign discourse communities (those of the privileged) that they have been thrown into upon entering the university. Thus, when a student writer utters anything in writing, he first has to tailor his language to suit the expectations of his overeducated audience (the professor). Students don’t really master writing (if it can ever be mastered), however, until they learn to craft a voice of their own. Until this happens, students simply go through the motions of academic writing, motions that do not amount to worthwhile discoveries. In this way, I found Bartholomae’s views connecting most resoundingly to those of Winterson’s, Atwan’s, Sirc’s, Bishop’s, and Shor’s.   Quotables:…

SKILLS FOR WRITING A DISSERTATION Introduction The writing skills you learn while developing your dissertation become useful later on in life.  Odena & Burgess, 2015 argue that it gives one a competitive edge in the job market after graduation as one has learned skills on the development of reports and other papers. They say that learning writing skills will help the students to overcome writers blocks.  According to the Higher Education Council for England, 2010, over 75% of students studying doctoral degrees in UK universities four years later than the expected. He associates this to failure on the part of the students to understand and develop strategies or skills for writing dissertations. Dissertation writing is a tedious and daunting task.

It is a rewarding yet challenging part of the degree that students have to go through. The skills for writing a dissertation can be considered in the writing style adopted, research skills,…

The Friendship Between Paul Kagame and the Banyamulenge is Non-existent. Since 1996, the Banyamulenge, a Congolese Tutsi community, has repeatedly been accused by their fellow Congolese of conspiring with Rwanda to oust Zaire’s former long-standing ruler Mobutu Sese Seko from power. As a result of this alleged disloyalty, the Banyamulenge have become scapegoats for the continuing humanitarian crisis that has plagued the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for many years. While the Banyamulenge were seeking a regime-changing war, that would topple the long-ruling Mobutu’s tenure (which had been marked by rampant corruption intended to enrich himself and his cronies), Kagame’s plan was improving Rwanda by expropriating the natural resources of its neighbors in the Democratic Republic of Congo and becoming what some have termed as ‘Africa’s economic success story.’ While Rwandan President, Paul Kagame (a self-proclaimed anti-genocide activist, with Rwanda, also branded as an anti-genocide watchdog) sought to present himself as a champion of the Banyamulenge cause, it is fair to say that the Banyamulenge had been made into political pawns, solely to advance Rwanda’s economic interests. The lip service…

The Gap Year and College Students Introduction High school graduation is one of the biggest achievement for most of the students. This is because it marks a new beginning where they can enroll in college and get all the freedom they want. When looking at the current world, there is a big difference between the students who join colleges directly after high school completion and those who prefer a gap year. A gap year can be defined as that period after or before college, where students are involved in several activities such as traveling or doing other tasks (Vargas et al., 2017). Students who take a gap year before colleges become better prepared since they gain other skills and can select the kind of careers they want. With this idea in mind, it is vital to consider a flipped classroom. This discussion will consider the crucial factors in a flipped classroom.   Definition Technology has made education to be easier for the students since they don’t have to attend school for them to learn. One of the most applicable trends…
