Teaching Writing
On Writing Assignment Design
The Writing Program offers consultation and advice to faculty members concerning any aspect of the use of writing in their classes, such as
- designing effective writing assignments
- responding to student writing efficiently
- managing large research-driven assignments
- designing writing-related classroom activities
- conferring with students
- discouraging plagiarism
As an initial example of the sorts of things Writing Program personnel can be called upon to discuss, this Web site includes an article by Ray Smith on the use of “Sequenced Microthemes” as one way to organize your syllabus.
