The English 131 Instructor’s Manual is a living document, revised and sustained every year by the efforts of the PWR staff. The first incarnation of the manual was drafted in 1997, and since then it has been continually developed and revised to reflect the changing Program in Writing and Rhetoric goals and its teachers’ needs.

We would like to acknowledge and thank those instructors who have contributed sample materials to this manual, and mention by name the various PWR Directors, Program Coordinators, and Assistant Directors who have authored this work, and whose dedication to composition pedagogy and instructor training has been invaluable:
