Dr. Jeremy Schnieder
assistant professor of writing and rhetoric
His proudest moments as a professor:
My proudest moments come when students figure out that they truly
can write, speak and think intelligently and that they have something
to say that should be heard. My proudest moments are when they are
confident enough that I am no longer necessary.
How his classes apply to the real world:
Writing and speaking – communicating in general – are as “real
world” as you can get. I also try to incorporate topics that students
care about. In that way, their writing and speaking are as real as it gets.
A life skill he tries to teach students:
The most valuable life skill that I try to encourage in my students is the
ability to think critically. If students can pull together multiple
perspectives and use them to create something new, their potential for
success is virtually endless.
A concept he would like everyone to know or understand:
To be able to speak and write, you need to start by listening.
