Using evidence and writing with sources are central features of academic work. Students often struggle with these aspects of academic writing; they find the differing requirements for source use, the practices of citation, and the relationships between claim and evidence hard to navigate as they move from one discipline to another throughout their undergraduate career. Drawing from recent research in writing pedagogy, this workshop will discuss how to teach students to write with sources in ways that help them both to understand the methods of argument in different disciplines, and to better understand the requirements of academic integrity.
All WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects.
