Scenarios for Teaching Writing
9:00am-noon
This workshop focuses on ways to enhance learning and problem solving through integrating writing and communication activities into your courses. Prof. Anson will lead participants through cases to highlight the ways that students can be engaged with learning while naturally developing those communication outcomes we all desire. We will pay special attention to designing cases that naturally avoid the problems of plagiarism that afflict many typical writing and research assignments.
