Visual Literacy: Strategies for Incorporating Classroom Critical Thinking in the Visual Representation of Research

Felice Frankel, Research Scientist, Ctr. for Materials Science & Engineering

Jan/27 Mon 10:00AM-12:00PM 12-134

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up

This workshop will include a presentation and hands-on exercises addressing the too often ignored component of communication: the visual expression of data and concepts. Just as in writing text, creating visual representations is not only a means of communication but also a process that itself advances and clarifies thinking.

All Writing Across the Curriculum workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects.
