Writing as a Learning Tool (CTE055)

Monday, July 17, 2017 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)
Location: EV1 241
Facilitator: Meghan Riley (CTE)

Description

Just how mighty is the pen? That's the issue we will explore in this workshop as we reflect on writing as a learning tool in classrooms across campus. In particular, this session offers ideas to instructors who wish to move beyond the term paper, the most common writing assignment in many disciplines, though not necessarily the most effective or efficient. Through a combination of interactive group discussions and exercises, we will consider a number of shorter writing activities which can easily be integrated into a variety of classrooms. Be sure to bring a pen to this workshop!
