"A significant contribution to discussions of student learning
among instructors committed to fostering writing and learning
across the university."
--Rebecca Nowacek, Marquette University "This book not only
provides rich research about writing assignments from the
perspectives of students and teachers, but does so on a large
scale. The students' perspectives on what makes writing assignments
meaningful is especially original, as is the emphasis on learning
for transfer and on agency."
--Daniel Melzer, author of Assignments across the Curriculum "The
Meaningful Writing Project explores students' perspectives on what
makes writing meaningful for them and makes a powerful argument for
why that matters. . . . This is a valuable book that engages
current conversations on learning and pedagogy."
--Anne Herrington, Distinguished Professor of English Emerita,
University of Massachusetts Amherst "[T]hought-provoking. . . .
[has] tantalizing implications for those of us who design writing
assignments -- whatever the discipline, and whether they are for a
first-year writing course or a senior seminar."
--Chronicle of Higher Education "The authors' years of study has
resulted in a useful work for anyone who wishes to connect an
assignment to the greater scope of their students' lives and
provide a college experience that resonates beyond the
classroom."
--Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research
