Friend, Christina Marie
Professor
I'm currently collaborating with university's Office of Institutional Assessment on a large-scale quantitative study examining how first-year composition students' writing changes during the time they take English 101 and 102 at USC. I'm also hard at work on a new edition of Beyond Words: Reading and Writing in a Visual Age with colleagues John Ruszkiewicz (University of Texas at Austin) and Daniel Anderson (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
