He has taught at the University of California, Irvine; The American University in Washington, D.C.; and since 1985, the University of California at Santa Barbara.

For twenty years Leonard Rosen has taught, conducted faculty seminars on, and co-authored (with Larry Behrens) leading textbooks on freshman composition, including Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (now in its 8th edition), The Allyn and Bacon Handbook (now in its 5th edition), and A Sequence for Academic Writing (currently in its first edition). A graduate of Trinity College (BA, Hartford, CT) and The American University (Ph.D.), Rosen makes his home in the Boston area and has taught most recently at Harvard University's Expository Writing Program. Web Site AuthorProfessor Deb Richey, who has taught full-time at Owens Community College (Toledo, Ohio), has increasingly employed computers and the Internet in all of her freshman-level writings classes, where students are challenged to master the Internet and email in addition to the required objectives of composition classes at Owens. She currently teaches two web-based Composition II at Owens. Both the web-based and the traditional composition classes make use of the companion web sites that accompany the texts. Although she has anticipated possible problems that arise using the Internet with its ever changing nature, she welcomes any comments or suggestions from users of this site (both faculty and students), as well as any problems users encounter.
