Course Description
This course is offered in collaboration with Writing Across the Curriculum, and is intended for graduate students and postdocs from any discipline.
Research shows that when students write more in a course, they learn the material more effectively and engage more deeply with it. This approach works best when assignments are well-designed, authentic, and assessed equitably. Join the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Program to learn best practices for using writing to promote students’ active learning and engagement.
In addition to learning how to use writing to teach in your discipline, this course will explore multiple approaches to writing assessment. Additional topics covered include navigating the AI writing landscape, supporting research writing, and equity in teaching writing.
As participants in the course, you will use what you learn to design authentic low-stakes writing activities as well as one high-stakes writing assignment for a course you are teaching or one that you hope to teach in the future. These will be powerful additions to your teaching portfolio, and you’ll leave the course better equipped to use writing to teach and help students learn in any discipline.
