Yet the processes by which students become more capable and ready to meet the challenges of writing for employers, the wider public, and their own purposes remain largely invisible. Developing Writers in Higher Education shows how learning to write for various purposes in multiple disciplines leads college students to new levels of competence. This volume draws on an in-depth study of the writing and experiences of 169 University of Michigan undergraduates, using statistical analysis of 322 surveys, qualitative analysis of 131 interviews, use of corpus linguistics on 94 electronic portfolios and 2,406 pieces of student writing, and case studies of individual students to trace the multiple paths taken by student writers. Topics include student writers' interaction with feedback; perceptions of genre; the role of disciplinary writing; generality and certainty in student writing; students' concepts of voice and style; students' understanding of multimodal and digital writing; high school's influence on college writers; and writing development after college. The digital edition offers samples of student writing, electronic portfolios produced by student writers, transcripts of interviews with students, and explanations of some of the analysis conducted by the contributors. This is an important book for researchers and graduate students in multiple fields. Those in writing studies get an overview of other longitudinal studies as well as key questions currently circulating. For linguists, it demonstrates how corpus linguistics can inform writing studies. Scholars in higher education will gain a new perspective on college student development. The book also adds to current understandings of sociocultural theories of literacy and offers prospective teachers insights into how students learn to write. 330 $aFinally, for high school teachers, this volume will answer questions about college writing. 410 0$aDigital rhetoric collaborative. 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aReport writing$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aReport writing$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 676 $a808/.0420711 686 $aEDU024000$aREF026000$2bisacsh 700 $aGere$b Anne Ruggles$f1944-$01350696 702 $aGere$b Anne Ruggles$f1944- 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910313037403321 996 $aDeveloping writers in higher education$93089443 997 $aUNINA
