I second the "get rid of all the teacher sections." I've been asked to recommend this by several other faculty members as well. Perhaps move to the community Moodle?
1. I second the suggestions to remove the teacher resources, although keeping tabs such as "English 1001" and "English 2000" with descriptions/policies/goals would be helpful.
2. The main block of text is too long and would work better on an "About us" page. The below section seems to be the most relevant (although I dislike the use of "you." The main audience may be prospective students, but they may not be high school students and parents/guidance counselors could be reading this as well.) "Writing at the university level is significantly different from the writing you have done in high school. Employers constantly tell us that being able to write and communicate effectively is extremely important for securing and advancing past the entry level of a job. Furthermore, it is essential for graduate school, even in non-Humanities disciplines."
3. Would it be possible to create a "Faculty" page that functions much like the main faculty page, but only includes WP faculty? I ask this because outside of an English department/UWP, the relationship between the two might be unclear. We know very well how the faculty/resources work as a Venn diagram, but for outsiders this could look like we're staffed by...no one?
get rid of all the Teacher sections:
ReplyDeleteEnglish 1001 Teachers, English 2000 Teachers, Faculty Resources (transfer these to Community Moodle)
Good point.

ReplyDeleteAhh, I'm so far behind. Here are my ideas.
