Workshop on using writing & speaking to teach course content set ...

On Friday, July 27, the University Writing Center will offer a new faculty workshop entitled ?Masters of the Univers(ity): Using writing & speaking to help students master course content.? The event, presented by UWC?Executive Director Valerie Balester?and UWC?Associate Director Candace Schaefer, will run from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. in Room 204E of Evans Library.

The University?s first undergraduate learning outcome states that TAMU students should ?Master the depth of knowledge required for a degree.? Specifically, students are expected to articulate, synthesize, and apply disciplinary theory and knowledge.

In this workshop, we will explore high-impact practices?writing and speaking in the disciplines?which can meet this goal. Together we?ll analyze documents/performances across the disciplines and learn how to integrate good composing practices into a discipline-specific class.? We?ll also discuss using written and oral reflection as a way to reinforce and assess learning.

The event is free and open to all instructors and lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
