Writing assignments are a key instructional tool in every discipline because writing helps students develop their thinking and communicate what they know to their instructors. A thoughtful approach to writing is therefore one of the best ways to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction. In this graduate seminar, we will ask big questions about writing – how does it work, how can I teach it, and how can I use it to teach disciplinary content? In a workshop environment, participants will focus on designing assignments, building course syllabi, and crafting thoughtful, inclusive pedagogical approaches. This seminar will be valuable to graduate students in any discipline looking to integrate writing instruction into their teaching portfolio. Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.
