Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peter Brooks has taught a wide range of writing courses that cover multiple genres, subject areas, and pedagogical activities. In addition to First Year Writing (Rhetorical Analysis and Research Writing), Peter has experience teaching Professional & Technical Writing, STEM Writing, Creative Writing, Literary Criticism\/Analysis, and Humanities\/Social Sciences. With experience working in student affairs, Peter\u2019s approach to teaching writing is to create an engaging class that is challenging and supportive, focusing mostly on individual and community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research\/Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Peter is focused on two areas of scholarship and research. First, Peter is completing extensive research conducted at three higher education institutions regarding their First Year Composition (FYC) objectives. His aim is to determine what drives writing program leadership to create course objectives, what influences their training practices, and how individual teachers negotiate those objectives to meet the needs of their students. Heavily influenced by the new wave of video game research, Peter also studies the different ways games teach people how to play, especially since, a game often plays multiple educational roles. Peter has been a regular presenter at the Computers and Writing Conference where both of his scholarly areas intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
