Adding Value for Students and Faculty with a Master's Degree in Professional Writing
Hunter, Susan M.; Giddens, Elizabeth J.; Walters, Margaret B.
College Composition and Communication, v61 n1 pW153-W174 Sep 2009
This article describes an interdisciplinary professional writing program and its benefits for students (in terms of knowledge, habits of mind, and developing careers). The authors present qualitative research findings about habits of mind and knowledge domains of successful students, which may prove valuable for faculty teaching in similar programs as they consider curriculum design, or for faculty pondering issues of career development for master's degree graduates. (Contains 2 tables and 1 note.)
