This workshop, led by Catharine Wright, Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric/GSFS will focus on writing assignments that delve into big ideas, that invite students to explore new genres, and/or that help students develop specific skills, with emphasis on ways to design and scaffold assignments to support student success. Faculty from several programs and departments, including the Writing and Rhetoric Program, will each briefly showcase an assignment with attention to course context as well as to how students might transfer what they learn to other contexts.
