(Prerequisite: Currently teaching) While the possibilities for incorporating writing into a course are endless, these choices can also be overwhelming. What types of assignments will work in my course? How can I respond efficiently to student writing? Join the director of the Writing & Media Center for an in-depth, cross-disciplinary conversation on incorporating writing into courses across the curriculum.

This Learning Community is designed for those who plan to include more or different kinds of writing in their courses, and it will serve as a venue for talking through approaches and workshopping assignments and rubrics. Using John C. Bean's Engaging Ideas: The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom as a springboard, we will explore how to make writing assignments work effectively for both you and your students. Facilitator: Rachel Azima, Director, Writing & Media Center.
