Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Social Work, clip 18 of 18

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: [The instructor] likes a really detailed outline. My outlines, I would do the introduction, body, conclusion, and then in there I would maybe have a topic sentence for each thing or each paragraph that I would write for the different sections. What [the instructor] likes is actually writing not only the topic sentence but what you would put in there . . . When you finally do the final paper, you do some grammatical changes . . . Since [his] class, I do still make a little more detailed outline, but I go back to my old way because it takes me forever to even write the outline.
