Textbook Use for Basic Studies courses

Using required textbooks will do the following (designed for part-time/adjunct faculty and TAs):

• Order books more efficiently and effectively and alleviate chaos within the dept. and book store as well as save money on textbooks (a provost and GA initiative)
• Create consistency within the program
• Make assessment and learning outcomes easier to achieve (Basic Studies/Outcomes Assessment)
• Make teaching easier for instructors (especially for sections staffed at late dates)
• Distribute responsibility for textbook ordering
• Prevent the state, GA, or some other government agency from making these decisions for us

Who should order books from the booklist below?

• TEAL instructors meet in the spring to determine textbooks for all TEAL sections for the following academic year
• First year TAs and composition coordinator decide textbooks for all TAs who will teach the following academic year in ENG 503 (any grad student who is not a TA but teaches for us will use the same textbook)
• Any instructor who has taught for UNCW’s English department for at least 4 semesters may choose his/her own textbook provided that it meets the departmental goals and learning objectives for the courses assigned (see the goals for the courses in the department faculty handbook)
• For courses that are not staffed by the time book orders are due and thereafter, we will use a default textbook for each course
• All textbooks for use in Basic Studies courses are subject to approval by the composition coordinator
