Writing and Rhetoric: Distance education, technology in education
My name is Kristine Gussow, and I have been a Professor of English since 2006. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in May 2000, and my Graduate Degree in May 2004.
I decided to double major in Psychology and Rhetoric and Composition, as I wanted to continue to strengthen my own writing skills. I began student teaching in 2005, and I realized my calling was teaching English, Literature and Composition at the college level.
I have been teaching English and Composition at GMU since 2011. I usually teach 302 Advanced Composition, though I will occasionally teach English 101 as well. I do try to make writing fun and applicable with every assignment. Please do not ever hesitate to contact me, should you have questions or concerns about your academic progress!
On a personal level, I am happily married to my husband and a mom to three wonderful children. We also have two goofy Lab rescues. My family and I moved to the DC Metro area in the Spring of 2011, and we love exploring all that this area has to offer.
Advanced Composition
Linguistics
British Literature
I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2000 from the University of Texas. I began graduate work in Clinical Psychology, with an end goal of a PhD in Abnormal Psychology, but decided to take a different path after falling in love with Rhetoric and Composition.
I completed my Master's Degree in May 2005 from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi.
