This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the ATEG list From Bill Murdick: Ed V. asked where I teach. For anyone interested, I teach at California University of Pennsylvania, one of 14 state system universities (we also have an Indiana University of PA in the system). We have about 7, 000 students and offer M.A. degrees but no Ph.D.'s at the moment. Our English programs offer undergrad degrees in Eng Ed., literature, and professional writing (journalism, creative writing, technical writing). Our grad program in English offers degrees in literature and English Eduation (a lot of rhetoric and linguistics). I teach composition, business writing, and, on the graduate and undergraduate levels, English education courses. I have a B.A. in English from SUNY Albany, an MFA in Creative Writing from the U of Iowa workshop, and a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Linguistics from Indiana U of PA. I have published a number of articles in a computer magazine and in scholarly journals, as well as a book on word processing (long ago, on Kaypro computers). Houghton Mifflin is publishing a business writing text I have written for their English Essentials series. It is a comprehensive text (28 chapters), intended to serve as the only text necessary for a college-level first course in business writing. It will sell for under $12.00. I wrote the book originally for use in my own classes when the price of the text I had been using rose to over $60.00.
