W Forum Workshop Series
As part of the Writing Center’s continuing effort to support W instructors at the UCONN Stamford campus, we’re offering a series of workshops dealing with W course issues.
Workshop #1: Developing Effective Writing Assignments
Thursday, October 1st, 3-4 p.m., Library Conference Room
One of the most challenging issues when teaching a W course is how to develop writing assignments that are both relevant to the course work and effective in training students to write within a particular discipline. This workshop will focus on how to create writing assignments that meet the multifaceted needs of the W course. Please feel free to bring in drafts of your own assignments to discuss.
