Onboarding Curriculum

Headspring 101

I wrote the handbook, lesson plans, course instructions, and class evaluations for an onboarding course at Headspring.

This course included eight classes introducing new employees to various aspects of the company. The mission of the program is to make new employees involved with and effective in the company as quickly and as stress-free as possible.

Technical Writing

Engl.301

I wrote the syllabus, lesson plans, and course instructions for three sections of Technical Writing at Texas A&M.

This course focused on the principles of composition, document design, and rhetoric applied to the primary genres of scientific, technical, and professional writinghe. The major projects included resume development and an analytical report.

Advanced Composition

Engl.241

I wrote the syllabus, lesson plans, and course instructions for two sections of Advanced Composition at Texas A&M.

This class focused on genre expectations, selecting appropriate sources, and inferring valid conclusions from research. Students created a blog and completed a major research paper.

Introduction to Rhetoric and Composition

Engl.104

I wrote the syllabus, lesson plans, and course instructions for three sections of Introduction to Rhetoric and Composition at Texas A&M.

Students learned how to consider purpose, audience analysis, voice and tone in various genres and rhetorical situations.

Introduction to Literature

Engl.203

I wrote the syllabus, lesson plans, and course instructions for four different versions of Introduction to Literature at Texas A&M.

As texts both reflect and create culture, we looked at literature first by topic and then secondarily covered literary genres, terms, spaces, and timelines.
