About Richard Jewell, Main Editor & Author |
Welcome to CollegeWriting.info! Two activities I especially love are teaching and writing. I count myself very lucky to be able to combine both of them in this textbook! I developed the first five chapters in 1984, shortly after I started teaching college writing. It has continued to grow. I first moved the text of it to the Web in 1998. During a sabbatical (a year off with pay) in 2003-4, I expanded and reorganized it to make it more Web friendly--more visual and interactive (with parts connecting to each other and to the Web by links). In that year, I also began inviting others to help me write it. Their names appear above.
I have taught college writing for over twenty years with training and experience in a variety of settings. I started out working as a freelance magazine writer and also taught part time at St. Cloud State University and several other colleges. I found I enjoyed teaching more, and eventually I took a full-time position at the University of Minnesota as a composition specialist. In 2001, Inver Hills College offered me a tenure-track (lifetime) position in its English Department, which I accepted. Inver Hills is a community college with a strong writing program in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and a member of the largest post-secondary system in the country, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU).
I have taught first-year college composition over one hundred times, and I still enjoy it! I also have taught many other types of writing courses: research writing; developmental or basic writing; creative, business, and technical writing; intermediate and advanced expository writing; writing about literature; writing for publication; and a variety of upper-division professional writing courses such as writing for the health sciences, writing about science, writing for engineers, and writing in the social sciences. I have another online Web book, Experiencing the Humanities, and as a freelance writer and an academic writer, I have had over one hundred publications of my magazine articles, stories, scholarly essays, photographs, and even a few poems.
If you would like to see additional details--including my resume, photo, email address, and a sample of my fiction, please visit my individual Web site, www.richard.jewell.net. (If you are one of my students at Inver Hills College, you may want to know that I have placed this Web site link at the top left on every page of CollegeWriting.info so you can always find your way back quickly to the home page of our course.)
If you are a student or writing instructor interested in details about my teaching and scholarly activities, they include publication of about a dozen academic essays (juried and non-juried) and several dozen presentations at national (MLA and CCCC), regional, state, and MnSCU conferences. One of my academic essays, coauthored with Chris Anson, appeared as the lead essay in a collection that won a National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Book of the Year Award in 2003, and my fiction and creative nonfiction have received regional honors. I also have provided system-wide WAC training to instructors in MnSCU. At the University of Minnesota, I taught primarily upper-division and professional-writing courses as part of the legacy of the nationally lauded (and now reorganized) UMN Program in Composition, and I coordinated a grant-driven revision of Donald Ross's Composition Web Site. My current areas of specialization include academic Web development and online instruction, writing across the curriculum, and writing in the disciplines. To see a complete curriculum vita, please go to www.richard.jewell.net.
Welcome again to CollegeWriting.info. I do hope you find it enjoyable and useful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Dozens of my students each year produce papers of which I am very proud and which, with just a bit of editing on my part, could make excellent sample papers. Unfortunately, there is not room for all of them, and once I have an excellent sample of one kind, I often do not need another of its type, no matter how good, for several years. In addition, sometimes potential samples are too long or short, too technical or general, or too inappropriate in subject matter for this textbook's general readership.
However, with that said, it's always good to have new samples, especially if I only have two or three in a chapter. If you have a sample--whether you are a student or an instructor of a student--please do make contact and describe it a bit. Meanwhile, here is a list of student authors of some excellent papers from a number of different colleges and universities.
