MS. KIM McDONALD

Assistant Professor,
Chair of Freshman English
MA, University of Idaho, 1986

Kim received her Masters degree from the University of Idaho in 1986.  She began her studies in literature, but soon discovered the growing discipline of rhetoric and composition.  Her thesis, Particle, Wave, Field Prewriting Strategy:  From Theory to Practice presents a qualitative study of the effects of this prewriting heuristic, developed from tagmemic theory, on the specific content included in student essays.  She continues to enjoy hands-on research, and her areas of interest include assessment, peer-review, and the effectiveness of specific pedagogical approaches in the teaching of writing.
