Diana Bowling currently is an Instructor of English at Arizona State University. She received her BA and MA degrees in English from Arizona State University, and has completed thirty-six advanced degree hours in Rhetoric & Composition, American Literature (17th-20th centuries), and Renaissance Non-Dramatic Literature. She was a Teaching Assistant in ASU’s English Department from 1985-1988, and a Teaching Associate from 1989-1995, serving as Assistant Director of Composition from 1993-1995. In 1995-1997, Diana held the position of TA Training Coordinator for ASU’s Graduate College. As well as teaching a variety of English composition and literature courses at Arizona State University, she has taught English composition classes for Rio Salado Community College, Chandler-Gilbert Community College, and Mesa Community College. During the fall semesters, 2003 and 2004, she was one of two new Faculty Associate mentors, observing and counseling FAs new to ASU’s English Department and Writing Programs Department. Her interest was in teaching Online ENG 301, an alternative form of teaching and learning. In October 2002, she presented as a member of a panel at the Western States Conference in Seattle, WA. The panel discussion was about the pros and cons of online teaching: “What They Can’t See Me Say Won’t Hurt Them.” In addition, she often teaches ENG 101 and ENG 102 in traditional classrooms. Lately, she has been teaching hybrid courses, in particular, ENG 101 and ENG 102,teaching on a Monday, Wednesday schedule in class, and on a Friday schedule online. Instead of spending class time writing in their daily journals, student prompts on controversial topics are posted on Blackboard in the Discussion Board, and then discussed in class. The students' responses to the controversial prompts make for some "lively" discussions.
