Often poorly-designed writing assignments produce poorly-written or vague and unfocused papers, whereas well-designed assignments can help students develop a deeper understanding of both the material they're writing about, and how scholars think about that material. This workshop will focus on the principles of designing assignments that will help students achieve the cognitive and communicative goals you set for them while avoiding confusion and temptations to plagiarize.
