What do students remember—or not—from first-year writing in their second and third years?  What writing experiences do they have after the first year? What resources and strategies support them? How is their definition of “writing” changing? What gives them the most satisfaction? In this session, Institute and FYS faculty will report on preliminary findings from interviews of 45 students during 2016 sophomore summer who had participated their first year in a portfolio initiative. Participants will discuss how these preliminary findings might inform our teaching, and will develop questions we should be asking these same students in their upcoming senior year. Lunch will be served. Sponsored by the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric.
