    For undergraduates following any course of study, it is essential to develop the ability to write effectively. Yet the processes by which students become more capable and ready to meet the challenges of writing for employers, the wider public, and their own purposes remain largely invisible. Developing Writers in Higher Education shows how learning to write for various purposes in multiple disciplines leads college students to new levels of competence. This volume draws on an in-depth study of the writing and experiences of 169 University of Michigan undergraduates, using statistical analysis of 322 surveys, qualitative analysis of 131 interviews, use of corpus linguistics on 94 electronic portfolios and 2,406 pieces of student writing, and case studies of individual students to trace the multiple paths taken by student writers.- Topics include student writers' interaction with feedback; perceptions of genre; the role of disciplinary writing; generality and certainty in student writing; students' concepts of voice and style; students' understanding of multimodal and digital writing; high school's influence on college writers; and writing development after college. The digital edition offers samples of student writing, electronic portfolios produced by student writers, transcripts of interviews with students, and explanations of some of the analysis conducted by the contributors. This is an important book for researchers and graduate students in multiple fields. Those in writing studies get an overview of other longitudinal studies as well as key questions currently circulating. For linguists, it demonstrates how corpus linguistics can inform writing studies. Scholars in higher education will gain a new perspective on college student development.- The book also adds to current understandings of sociocultural theories of literacy and offers prospective teachers insights into how students learn to write. Finally, for high school teachers, this volume will answer questions about college writing

    "There have been several studies of college student writers' development across the undergraduate years, but this book is the largest and most comprehensive because it includes extensive data on 169 students, and each chapter raises different questions and offers a new perspective on writerly development. At a time when the value of a college education is being questioned, this book offers clear evidence of how undergraduates move toward becoming effective writers. While there is no shortage of complaints about writing skills in the general population, there is relatively little appreciation for and understanding of the kinds of investments, of both funds and commitment, necessary to address this need. Students do not all follow the same path, of course, but this book shows how writing for various purposes in multiple disciplines leads them to new levels of competence"--

    "There have been several studies of college student writers' development across the undergraduate years, but this book is the largest and most comprehensive because it includes extensive data on 169 students, and each chapter raises different questions and offers a new perspective on writerly development. At a time when the value of a college education is being questioned, this book offers clear evidence of how undergraduates move toward becoming effective writers. While there is no shortage of complaints about writing skills in the general population, there is relatively little appreciation for and understanding of the kinds of investments, of both funds and commitment, necessary to address this need. Students do not all follow the same path, of course, but this book shows how writing for various purposes in multiple disciplines leads them to new levels of competence"-- Intro; Contents; Introduction (Anne Ruggles Gere); Section One: Writing Is a Rhetorical and Social Activity; Introduction to Section One; One: toward critical engagement: affect and action in student interactions with instructor feedback (Emily Wilson and Justine Post); Two: "a good development thing": a longitudinal analysis of peer review and authority in undergraduate writing (Benjamin Keating); Section Two: Genre Awareness Contributes to Student Writing Development; Introduction to Section Two.
