Beyond Dichotomy - Synergizing Writing Center and Classroom Pedagogies
Steven J. Corbett · George Mason University
How closely can or should writing centers and writing classrooms collaborate? Beyond Dichotomy explores how research on peer tutoring one-to-one and in small groups can inform our work with students in writing centers and other tutoring programs, as well as in writing courses and classrooms. These multi-method (including rhetorical and discourse analyses and ethnographic and case-study) investigations center on several course-based tutoring (CBT) partnerships at two universities.

Inferential Statistics and Probability - A Holistic Approach
Maurice A. Geraghty · De Anza College
Holistic or Eastern tradition analysis is less concerned with the component parts of a problem, mechanism or phenomenon but rather with how this system operates as a whole, including its surrounding environment. I believe it is possible to teach the concept of Inferential Statistics holistically. This course material is a result of that inspiration, and it was designed to supplement, not replace, a traditional course textbook or workbook.

The (In)Credible Argument
Jenn Kepka · Lane Community College
In academics, we set aside time and space to learn about and practice argument because we value the ability of a writer, reader, and thinker to ethically prove their point. Whether it is piping up with an opinion during class discussion or writing a heart-felt personal essay about the reasons for attending school, argument motivates much of the work you’ll do in college. It is also behind nearly every piece of media — written, spoken, musical, video, or other.

Christina Branson, Robert Ian Jones, Jon Parrish Peede, and Summer Boyd Vertrees · LibreTexts
Skynet for Social Justice is a book designed by in-the-trenches composition instructors designed to start conversations about how we can frame discussions about generative AI through a social justice lens. Too many conversations about the effects of generative AI in the classroom focus on either cheating or skills acquisition. To counter these mercantile trends, this book provides a number of example lesson plans for formative discussions about the rhetorical uses generative AI might be put to.
