- Title
Inez in Transition: Using Case Study to Explore the Experiences of Underrepresented Students in First-Year Composition.
- Authors
Saidy, Christina
- Abstract
This case study reports on the transition from high school to college writing undertaken by Inez, a first-generation Chicana undergraduate student. Through use of interviews, student writing samples, and research memos, the author illustrates how a seemingly smooth transition to college writing is actually complex and raises questions for WPAs about the ways students--especially underrepresented students--experience the transition to college writing. The author suggests that case studies, like this one, may benefit writing programs, via programmatic assessment and pedagogical modeling.
