Teaching Experience
ENGL 104: Intro to Academic Writing | The University of Findlay | Findlay, Ohio
ENGL 104 emphasizes writing processes appropriate for narrative, analytical, and argumentative essays.
The course helps students to express their own ideas in lively prose that conforms to conventional
standards of style and usage. Some of the writing assignments will require responses to assigned readings
or other texts (potentially including non-print media), but the focus throughout most of the course
remains on each students expression of his/her own ideas

ENGL 106: Academic Writing and Research | The University of Findlay | Findlay, Ohio
This course introduces students to writing processes and prose conventions common to many academic
disciplines, and it provides opportunities for students to participate in one or more of the ongoing
conversations in particular communities of writers. The course emphasizes analytic and persuasive
writing based on critical reading of primary sources (audio/visual texts) and secondary sources including
articles/texts found in scholarly databases. In addition, non-print texts may be examined. Two systems of
formal documentation, MLA and APA, are covered.
