Courses represent undergraduate and graduate-level classes. Courses beginning with "5" are graduate courses and were new to a redesigned MAT program. I piloted both "Literature for Youth" (5340) and "New and Multimodal Literacies" (5342).
The second iteration of this course, which I designed and piloted for a new MAT degree at UTEP. This syllabus and the accompanying evaluation scores (see that section of my profile) represent growth and my ability to integrate student feedback.

Student evals are just part of an equation to consider when improving a course, but that difference is significant and shows grit, conscientiousness, and the ability to listen.

A final focus group meeting at the end of their matric year provides the data for this article. The transcriptions were coded using repeated patterns for themes to explore the stances taken in relation to the literature whether efferent or aesthetic.Re...
