In this talk, Dr. Mathis will share information about the incoming 2019 cohort of students based on their writing self-placement materials. She will discuss what kinds of reading and writing incoming students are most familiar with, as well as their reported perceptions of academic writing. She will share examples of problematic issues and perceptions as well as some promising associations that can be used to help clarify reading and writing expectations with first-year students.

Registration is required for this event.
