“text-aware” involves understandingthat texts produced from classroom assignments are not just composed of words and sentences,but of highly structured and often highly predictive composing decisions. A fundamental goal ofcore writing courses in many first-year writing and upper-level technical writing services coursesfor STEM majors is to impart this textual awareness to students, helping them understand thatdifferent decision-making at the compositional level leads to different text types appropriate forspecific purposes and audiences. However, “visualizing” the decision-making processes ofunderlying writing, and “seeing” textual patterns within genres, is an extremely abstract idea forstudents, and even harder to teach within the constraints

The generalization or inductionthinking in “If conclusion, then proposition” should be explained as well.

To aid in further understanding theseconcepts, and to help solidifying the “point” of studying thermodynamics, a high-stake projectthat unifies some of the major topics is necessary. Such a project should be readily relatable toeveryday life, and yet should require a higher-level exploration of meanings.An example of such project has been successfully implemented in a basic thermodynamicscourse for a number of years. The goal is simply to find the coefficient

Although students are exposed to moreactivities and assignments in the upper level classes where they are required to show their criticaland analytical skills, the stronger the foundation the more prepared they are for the futurechallenges.
