Short Description:
This textbook, created by college students for college students, provides advice and guidance for writing successfully, both in school and in life. Sections dedicated to writing, writers, style, assessment, and teaching cover a range of timely topics and helpful strategies for re-thinking your relationship to writing and your identity as a writer.
Long Description:
Gathering advice on over 100 perspectives on writing, this collection guides college students as they explore writing as a discipline of study. Each chapter is written by college students for college students, helping connect authors and readers through shared experiences and approaches.
Good Ideas About Writing came about in response to Bad Ideas About Writing, a collection edited by Cheryl E. Ball and Drew M. Loewe. Their collection, authored by experts in the discipline, addresses commonly held public misconceptions about writing and the teaching of writing. By contrast, Good Ideas About Writing works to build helpful perceptions of writing before those common misconceptions have a chance to take root.
Emphasizing clarity and shared experience, Good Ideas About Writing strengthens students’ understanding of how writing works, both in school and in life after graduation. The ideas in this book will help you approach both writing and learning with confidence and clarity.

Members of the Gordon faculty have collaborated on the authorship of this guide, and it is targeted directly at Gordon students to help them with their writing across the GSC curriculum. This guide provides at least three distinct advantages over other guides: it is specifically targeted to Gordon State students, it covers writing across the whole curriculum, not just English; and it is free.
Many approaches to crafting this guide were entertained, but the authors decided that what students really want from a composition guide are practical examples of writing that they might actually encounter in their classroom experiences at Gordon. Many guides try to do this, but this guide uses real Gordon professors and real Gordon class assignments as a starting point. This results in what we feel is a substantial improvement over other available writing guides.
There has been a vigorous, decades-long debate around the governance of digital technology – one conducted variously in the public sphere, in academia, and among regulators and legislators, with a discernible impact on the development and use of consumer-facing technologies. These technologies include the Internet and applications built on top of it; the use of AI and machine learning; and the rise of digital platforms that began as individual apps but then became themselves a more comprehensive, at times totalizing, infrastructure of ubiquitous sensors, data, and user analysis. This course will contextualize today’s technology-driven policy challenges in terms of some of the complex technical, legal, and political arcs of digital governance. Throughout the semester we will trace a broad range of urgent, seemingly novel governance problems back towards their roots for the purpose of charting potential paths forward. We will take a long view on questions of technology policy, looking for the limitations and opportunities confronting both regulators and private-sector decision makers -- and the users of these technologies.
