What/Who is WPA in the WPA Student Learning Outcomes?
First off WPA is Writing Program Administration. The writing program administration is basicly a list of expectations that should be met by every English Composition 2 student after the end of the year. The expectations include from rhetorical knowledge, Critical thinking, reading and writing, processes and knowledge of conventions. In rhetorical knowledge the student is expected to focus on a purpose and use conventions of format. Under critical thinking, reading and writing the student is expected to use writing and reading for learning, thinking and communicating. For processes the student should know that it takes several drafts in order to get the final draft done. Also learn how to critique others and balance out information. And for knowledge of conventions the student is expected to learn common formats for different kinds of texts and control spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Response to Chapters 1 - 3
The reading opens up with the several definitions of rhetoric and then goes into a statement on how important writin is in the four areas of a human being's life (Academic, Personal, Professional and Civic). I also noticed how SIMILAIR the reading is to the WPA reading online how Chapter 1 is broken down by Rhetorical Knowledge, Critical Thinking, Reading and Writing, Writing Processes and Knowledge of Conventions. The chapter closes with writing responsability and writing technologies. Technology is a system of practice that extends human capabilities. The system of writing that we use is actually a technology for extending human thought across time and space.
