MOst Excellent Differences: Essays on Using Type Theory in the Composition Classroom

Every student knows, and almost every teacher has forgotten, that the personality of the teacher is a crucial component of every class. Those who fail to recognize their own assumptions are simply in the grip of assumptions they are unwilling to recognize. This book opens new ways to think about the relation of who we are to what we do as teachers. With chapter topics ranging from making assignments, responding to student writing, personality and computers, and even type and library research, this volume gives teachers practical ways to include type theory in their classes.
