SUMMARY:Integrating Communication Instruction in CI Subjects: A Writing Across the Curriculum IAP Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment: Limited: First come\, first served (no advance sign-up) \nInstructors of CI subjects often ask how they can more effectively connect writing and speaking instruction with the course content\, so that communication assignments are not just additional requirements\, but instead help students more deeply engage with the concepts of the course. How can we design instructional and assignment sequences that are organic to each subject\, and that help students approach writing and speaking as the space for developing conceptual thinking? Working with some examples from CI-M and CI-H classes\, we’ll explore how instructors can break down assignments to demystify research\, writing\, and presentation in their fields. Improved sequencing will help students experience a more productive writing experience. \nBring examples of assignments from your classes to share. \nAll WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects. \nSponsor(s): Teaching and Learning Lab\, Comparative Media Studies\nContact: Ashley Caval\, 12-117\, 617 253-0650\, ACAVAL@MIT.EDU

SUMMARY:Powerful Feedback: Strategies for Responding to Student Writing: A Writing Across the Curriculum IAP Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment: Limited: First come\, first served (no advance sign-up) \nWhat kind of feedback will help students understand how to revise their essays\, reports or articles\, or to write their next assignment more effectively? This workshop will help faculty and TA’s to articulate their criteria for student writing and to develop powerful feedback practices\, from written comments to rubrics to peer review to individual conferences.= By considering feedback in relation to other forms of instruction\, participants will learn to provide the kinds of comments and strategies that will help students understand how to improve their skills as writers. \nAll WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects. \nSponsor(s): Comparative Media Studies\, Teaching and Learning Lab                Contact: Ashley Caval\, 12-117\, 617 253-0650\, ACAVAL@MIT.EDU
