Writing

Portland State University is committed to the improvement of student writing. To graduate students with good writing skills, PSU advocates:

  • shared responsibility for writing instruction, such as writing-intensive courses in the major;
  • promotes multiple layers of writing instruction, ranging from stand-alone writing courses to writing-intensive work in University Studies;
  • and creates learning communities in which students become part of a collaborative team with faculty, mentors, other students, and local community members on pragmatic, interlocking, and goal-oriented writing projects.

By graduation students are expected to:

  • clearly articluate relationships between ideas and concepts out of an academic framework and those out of their own thinking;
  • adopt appropriate voice, tone, and level of formality depending upon the rhetorical purpose and the type of genre;
  • develop global strategies for generating and revising texts;
  • and edit carefully for syntax, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
