From 1985-2005, she taught full-time in the UD’s Writing Program and for 12 years she trained and supervised TAs and supplemental faculty. She also published several textbooks including Writing on the Internet: Finding a Voice Online (Harcourt Brace, 1999), and Writing with WordPerfect (Harper-Collins, 1995). In addition, she developed an online version of E110 for the Focus Program in Distance Education and published numerous articles about teaching, including “International Students’ Difficulties with Writing” (Ch. 9 in Understanding the International Student, NY: Mc-Graw Hill, 1992: 119-137) and “Writing for International Readers,” (College Teaching 37.4 (1989): 131-34).
In 2005, Marcia retired from the English Department and took students to Ireland and New Zealand for International Programs. She’s now enjoying teaching English for Academic Purposes at the ELI.
