QEP: Writing
A friend who is leading the QEP at another college sent me a somewhat desperate email the other day about how were we doing the writing of the QEP? Well, this is what I told her.
We didn't start writing until the whole thing was hashed out. We're still hashing a bit, but the main points are done.
We split into four subcommittees to do the sections: Introduction/Rationale/Objectives/Student Learning OUtcomes + Lit review on best practices + Actual Plan and Budget + Assessment. The Editor is doing the executive summary and we are all responsible for the references. I did not want any one person to do all the writing; on top of that, we have a lot of English faculty on the team, and we are supposed to be decent writers.
I want to get the first draft to the liaison early--within a month from now. I despise procrastination.
I wrote a big section of it (the first one) to get the rest of them inspired and started (I'm being facetious on the inspired part. QEP does not engender inspirational emotions.) I write--it's what I do best, so it was fun for me but that's pretty strange, I realize.
