The Blount Scholars Program emphasizes textual interpretation, cultural interpretation, and the relationship between the two. In their written work, students concentrate on developing the skills of analysis and synthesis. In order to lay the foundation for these skills, the two-semester, first-year seminar provides students with intensive oversight and feedback to improve their writing. What aspects of your experience prepare you to work well with our students in this endeavor? Be sure to include a description of your personal pedagogical philosophy concerning writing instruction.*
