Workshop: Clear Communication in Assignment Design

What do we value in student writing? How do we make this explicit to our students, who are navigating different expectations in different courses? And how can we help students break down complex writing assignments into a manageable process that they feel confident completing? Faculty from across the disciplines are invited to explore these questions and more in this in-person workshop with leaders from SU’s Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum program. No matter which AI policy faculty have chosen for student writing in their courses, the emphasis on process, not “perfect” product, can help to increase clarity and transparency while reducing confusion and fear. Time will be devoted to one-on-one consultations between facilitators and attendees, if desired. Participants are encouraged to bring an assignment that they would like to revise to the session.
