Description xii, 269 pages ; 23 cm Series Landmark publications in writing studies Landmark publications in writing studies Summary This groundbreaking book reports the results of a seven-year study in which six teacher-researchers worked together to inquire into the thinking and writing of college students. The study offers a model of collaborative, naturalistic classroom research that not only allowed the investigators to investigate how students thought and wrote, but also to reflect on teacher growth and change over the course of the study. -- Notes Includes index Bibliography Bibliography: pages 250-259 Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (WAC Clearinghouse, viewed June 26, 2013) Subject Academic writing -- Study and teaching -- United States.
