Job Description

Manhattanville University is seeking an adjunct professor to teach College Writing I and/or College Writing II (September 2 – December 19). These courses must be taught in-person. Please note that if the Fall semester is successful, there will be the possibility of future employment. Candidates may apply to either or both courses.

Course Descriptions

ENC.1001 College Writing I

This course provides an overview of critical thinking strategies and writing skills that are essential to successful, meaningful academic work at the college level and that facilitate informed citizenship in college and beyond. Students will be guided to develop critical literacy skills, including textual analysis, and formulate cogent arguments through frequent drafting and revision. To ensure students are writing accurately and coherently, they will focus on grammar, word usage, sentence structure, paragraph coherence, and rhetorical modes.

ENC.1002 College Writing II

This course will build on the skills developed in College Writing I. Students will review critical thinking skills and writing skills related to analysis, persuasion, and argumentation, and will also review key concepts of grammar and style. Students will receive continued instruction in analysis and synthesis, as well as in research and documentation. Emphasis will be placed on writing as a process, and the connection between writing and research. Through primary and secondary research, focused revision based on peer and instructor feedback, and development from proposal through multiple drafts, students will produce a long-form, bibliographic essay.
