  Kennette Crockett

  Instructor

  “We are working for understanding and not knowledge.” This is one of Professor Kennette Crockett's favorite quotes; it was spoken by her former professor Sister J.F. Crowley of Mundelein College. Professor Crockett keeps this at the heart of her instruction. She received her B.A. in English Literature from Mundelein College where she graduated Cum Laude; she later received her Masters in English Literature from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. She teaches English Composition 100 and 101 along with journalism 151 at Malcolm X College which is one of the City Colleges of Chicago. Professor Crockett was selected by the City Colleges to be part of the Master Faculty Program. She is currently a member of the Malcolm X College Learning Community program. This fall 2008, Malcolm X College plans to offer Mathlish which combines English 100 and Math 098. Professor Terry Paterson and Professor Crockett will co-teach this course. Professor Crockett is a former freelance journalist whose writing has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times and various newspapers, magazines, and anthologies.

  Patrick Stansberry

  Assistant Professor
  Cuyahoga Community College
  MyCompLab, MySkillsLab

  Pat Stansberry is an assistant professor at Cuyahoga Community College, the first college he attended way back in the before-times. Like many of his current students, he took some classes, worked some jobs, and the years slipped by. Also like many of his students, he eventually went back to school and earned degrees, his in Anthropology and English. Now he teaches, mostly developmental and composition courses, sometimes technical writing, and, on rare occasions, the elusive literature course.

  He has used the Pearson labs primarily as a supplement in developmental courses. He found MySkillsLab particularly useful in a pilot program that allowed students who tested into the highest developmental course to take the first composition course along with a grammar course that was structured around MySkillsLab.

  Courses taught: All Developmental, Composition, and Literature courses

  Course format: Traditional, Hybrid and Online

  Book in use: The Successful Writer's Handbook
