• Steve Bernhardt (Bits) discusses teaching “The” Research Paper—or do you teach “a research paper” or “a researched paper”?
• Catherine Pierce (Lit Bits) encourages students not to let the idea of writing get in the way of writing in Writing a Poem by Not Writing a Poem.
• Adrian Arancibia (Lit Bits) gives Student Poets Some Advice for Reading Aloud.
• Traci Gardner (Bits) considers how to get more robust feedback on course evaluations in Supplementing Your Online Course Evaluation.
• Barclary Barrios shares five favorite essays from his Emerging textbook in Behind the Textbook: My Faves.
