Gul: February 22 Informal Writing Project 2

Gul was kind enough to email me his informal writing project! I've uploaded it to my google docs so you can view it. Unfortunately the arrows didn't transfer, so I'm still thinking of a way to make that work. I welcome ideas. Here's the link; at least we have the body of the text available!

Community Service and Critical Teaching

When I first started this class, my expectations were that I would be learning how better to teach students how to write through making their writing relevant by making student writing public. My hope was that I could find some strands of an argument to support what I have always felt, which is that academia should not be so self contained, and that what we learn here should be transferable to the outside world to make it a better place. My concern was that I would be learning only about pedagogy. I say this now, looking back, and it is possible my ideas about what the class is have changed my memories of this, but this is true as best as I can put it. (more after the jump!)
