IAP 2012 Activity


Designing Writing Assignments
Dr. Les Perelman, Director, Writing Across the Curriculum
Mon Jan 30, 10-11:30am, 12-134

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

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.
