The service course is an ” introductory courses for nonmajors delivered primarily as a service to other departments and programs on campus. These service courses are designed to better prepare students for the writing they will do on the job, and they are consistently a nonmajor\u2019s only classroom interaction with TPC prior to graduation” (Meloncon & England, 2011, p. 398).<\/p>\n

While some have tried to call the service course the “multi-major course,” (see Read & Michaud and Boetger) historically, TPC has used the service course, which is what and how I will refer to it throughout this term. Because we are providing a service to other departments and the institution as a whole. (There’s a whole big discussion that can take place around “service” and what that means and how that situates the courses, the program, and the department. We’ll likely have that conversation this term.)<\/p>\n
