Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) will run one faculty workshop this fall. Want to increase engagement in your classroom and help your students become better thinkers? Join us to discuss effective, research-backed ways to do so based on Writing Across the Curriculum principles. The workshop stands alone but is also a great opportunity for faculty

One of the challenges in writing-intensive instruction is developing a syllabus that weaves together course content with WAC principles to improve student writing and facilitate their writing process. In this workshop, we will suggest critical elements for crafting syllabi for writing-intensive courses and consider ways to adapt assignments and course practices that help students learn

This workshop will cover a number of assignment design strategies that emphasize active learning through student writing. Developing effective writing assignments helps students retain and critically think about course content. In this workshop, faculty will have the chance to discuss and enhance their own writing assignments.

This workshop offers strategies for minimizing time spent on grading while maximizing the effectiveness of written comments. These strategies not only ease an instructor’s workload but also lead to more comprehensive student learning. We will cover a variety of minimal marking techniques that will allow faculty to focus on overall improvements in student writing.
