Loehrl wrote, "I believe rhetoric and literature are not mutually exclusive, therefore persuasive strategies and literary texts can be taught within the same composition course." She goes onto say that it's not a question of "whether literature should be included in the composition classroom, but rather how literature should be defined, selected, and used to produce writing."  I agree with this idea.  I've tried to stick to this as I was designing my course materials and syllabus.

It's really impressive work. I know Loehrl will be successful when she teaches the class.

I appreciated how Loehrl has everything organized for her class. I think even if she had to change some content and pivot the course every so often, she'd be able to keep students on track because she knows her material so well. -Stephanie

Loehrl plans to use literature in her composition class, however, much of the work students will be doing is focused on very individualized types of writing. She has also included several different types of writing in her curriculum, which I think will really help students in practicing their skills and seeing how important a focus on writing can be. -Stephanie

Great use of our readings! I appreciated how you explained who and where you got inspiration from while you were working on your portfolio. -Stephanie

I really appreciated the assignment that was focused on a more journalistic style of writing. Not only did the assignment involve research, but it also calls on students to flex their skills in a different type of style- one that is very different from that of say a novel. I think this assignment will help students see how writing is such a powerful tool and will expose them to how writing can function out in the real world. -Stephanie

As an introduction to composition class, I think your students will be exposed to different types as writing and, as a bonus, several different kinds of texts. What really intrigues me about this course, though, is the multimodal aspects. By exposing students to different types of rhetoric will prepare them for the future. And I think you've done an excellent job balancing all of these things. -Stephanie

The course is an introduction to composition and it's done so by exposing students to different literary texts and multimodal assignments. This is also a CE class which seems to play a big part in how the grading and structure of the course is laid out. I appreciate how you've clearly explained how the course will function since this might be students' first exposure to a college course. One thing I would suggest, in the syllabus I was a little confused if it was a fully online class or not. Sounds like it's going to be an in-person class so it might be helpful to focus a part of the syllabus on how you plan to incorporate technology into the class and why that's important so students know the why to the what. I think students buy into a class more when they know the why behind what they're being asked to do. -Stephanie

Something that stood out to me about your balance between lit and comp for this class is how the texts inform the writing assignments. You never ask them to write about the text directly, but rather the issues that arise in the texts. And I think that is a huge key to the connection between lit and comp. -Stephanie

I appreciate how strong your teaching philosophy is. I can really feel your passion for the subject and your understanding of what we've talked about this semester. I also appreciate that your personality comes through. I'd take a class with you! When students have a teacher who is is confident in their philosophies class is just that much more enjoyable. -Stephanie

One thing I would suggest for your lesson plans is putting some dates or time frame around each assignment. I know lessons can change once you get into the classroom, but I always find having those dates helps me keep track of things. -Stephanie

Your teaching philosophy was very well written and was aptly personalised to fit your personal experience with teaching and how it has groomed you and your pedagogy. I like how building comfidence is student was expressed as a component of your teaching style. I definately believe the same! -Anza

The course is devised so to better fit the  needs of the students and to help them find authorial credibilty. the mode of classes is focused in student centtered methods of oral and written discourse instead of relying on a conventional lecture-style of teaching. - Anza

Overall I really like how you have worked out the lesson plans but adding a time frame would help more in organizing the plans! -Anza

The course has pedagogical significance with regards to its implementation of collaborative learning for expositiory writing/composition by using literary texts. The course is devised without letting the texts overshadow the composition aspects rather aid and improve the writing. - Anza
