Teaching Writing (WPR III) In-Person
This seminar is part of Writing Process Reengineering Week.
Writing is also an important part of teaching. But it is famously difficult to make writing an explicit part of university instruction, not least because of the costs involved. Many people (and especially students) believe that improvement requires detailed feedback on many pages of student writing. This is often unworkable because there is not enough time. This seminar will apply the principles of Writing Process Reengineering to the design and assessment of student assignments. It will leverage the writing moment and the academic paragraph to the end of letting students experience their own writing, and that of their fellow students, cultivating an awareness of quality and the skills to produce it. Most importantly, it will help teachers quickly and easily identify good writing and suggest lines of improvement through deliberate practice.
