by Scott Oury (Author)
From the inspiring opening student quotations to the final appendix on punctuation, "Coming to Terms with Experience Through Writing" is an accessible handbook for teachers of composition and a supportive guide for professional and aspiring writers. Scott Oury shows through examples from his thirty years of college teaching what brilliant prose ordinary students can produce when old rules are set aside and they are encouraged to begin with their own experiences, and develop their own distinctive voice.
Author Biography
In addition to editing text books for four+ years, Scott Oury taught writing at a number of colleges over a 36 year career in education, enjoying (almost) every minute of it. He has written occasional pieces, more than a hundred poems, and published articles on composition, literature, as well as pieces advocating for adjunct teaching professionals. In addition he has authored a hundred and thirty two journals (and still counting), writing that brings to the fore again and again the pleasure of putting pen to paper.
