CTL workshop: How to Get Better Student Writing Parts I and II
Despite the best efforts to give students tools and strategies to improve their writing, many professors still receive poorly written assignments. The first workshop will teach instructors how to approach this common problem from a new perspective. Participants will discuss the benefits of designing effective assignment sheets and informative assessment rubrics to elicit optimal results from students.
The second workshop addresses harnessing student potential through peer review. Peer review is a pedagogical technique that is often used in the composition classroom, and can ease the common frustration of professors who must grade hastily written student writing. Current research in composition and rhetoric shows that student writing improves when students have regular feedback during the writing process.
Part one will be offered from 11 a.m. to noon Wednesday, February 11, in the Martin Luther King Student Union Mini Ballroom – Second Floor. The second session will be offered from 12:15-1:15 p.m. Tuesday, February 17, in the Martin Luther King Student Union.
Both workshops will be interactive, so please bring at least one writing assignment and plenty of questions. Professors from all disciplines are encouraged to attend. For more information, call the Center for Teaching and Learning at 516-4695.
