Rethink and Redesign Writing Assignments with One-on-One Support

Images shows the face of a confused-student

How often do you get long-term, one-on-one support in your lesson design!?? Well, look no further; here you have it. We believe in the power of writing across the curriculum and the positive impact writing has on students’ learning. We want to support faculty across disciplines in designing effective, accurate, and well scaffolded assignments that require your students to write.  

Please join the Faculty Commons’ Spring Quarter Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) quarter-long workshop that will have participants meet whole group twice, and then provide individualized support the rest of the quarter. Together, we will explore what makes a clear and effective writing assignment, what various writing terminology you may use in your assignments means to students, and how to make the best use of what our students have learned in ENGL&101 and ENGL 201 for your writing assignments. Then, you and Jun will work on fine-tuning at least one of your writing assignments.

Two group meetings in the first two weeks by a Doodle Poll 

One-on-one meetings scheduled at your available times throughout the quarter 

8 PD Hours |7 seats available.   Register to learn more about Redesign Writing Assignments.

Stipend: $200 for participating in all sessions and submitting a final assignment. 

Please reach out to Jun Xu, WAC Lead, with your questions.
