The Writing Program
Realizing that the current custom edition textbook for her WRC 1013 Writing Composition class is expensive, heavy and difficult to resell, Christina Frasier became involved with her department’s textbook committee. She understands how purchasing textbooks can be an obstacle, and that students without the text are often less engaged. She recently lobbied with OpenStax to create a composition textbook to replace the one currently used by her department.
