COD Stories
"It is not necessarily the ‘B’ student becoming the ‘A’ student. The real breakthrough is when you see a student’s realization that they have gone above and beyond what they thought they were capable of doing.” - Jason Snart

Danica's COD StoryCOD Stories
“I am blessed to play a small part in helping students meet their own personal potentials. As their instructor, I take that seriously. I want them to know that they can do anything they set their minds to, and that they are worthy of success.” - Tony Bowers

"My students know more than they know they do. My job is to get them to articulate their knowledge on the page, sounding credible while doing so." - Trina Sotirakopulos
Trina's COD StoryCOD Stories
"Whether it be a writing assignment or job interview or responding to an act of misogyny or racism, I hope students would be able to read those rhetorical situations, locate the available means of persuasion and respond to them in such a way that their arguments have an effect." - Steven Accardi
