Applied Learning in an Editing and Writing for Publication Course

Abstract

At a small liberal arts college, one TPC course was created that combined editing, writing for publication, and applied learning opportunities. The course was created to meet departmental goals for adding a writing course and adding a course students would be interested in taking. The course includes having students participate in two large-scale editing projects including a project where they work directly with clients. In the publishing section of the course, students have opportunities to write for a variety of options including digital options, college newspaper, and undergraduate journal options.
