Welcome to Professor Cooper's Writing Portfolio Wiki!

 

This is a wiki for my Basic Writing Skills course. I will be using this site to do peer editing and to share my writing with the class.

 

You can edit any page, including this one, just by clicking "Edit" above. But it would probably be better if you stick to editing your own page.

 

To tell you a little about myself, I will post my Essay #1: Memoir/Narrative here once I have written it:

About Me

 

Welcome to South Mountain Community College. This is my 8th year at SMCC, and I'm just coming back after a year on sabbatical. I spent my year finishing up my doctoral dissertation on the effects of hybrid courses on retention and student satisfaction.

 

I have been teaching for 16 years. I taught 2 years at Deer Valley HS, 2 years at Westwood HS, and 4 years at Central Arizona College before coming here. Before starting my teaching career, I studied communications at Phoenix College. I earned my B.A. degree in English Literature from California State University, Bakersfield in 1989, and a M.Ed. degree in English Secondary Education from Northern Arizona University in 1993, and I just recently finished my doctorate in Instructional Technology and Distance Education at Nova Southeastern University.
