What we’re NOT here to do: Turn you into a writing teacher(or worse, a grammar expert) Force your students to write persuasive essays Dictate how you should run your classroom
What we are here to do: To further the goals of the NSU Quality Enhancement Plan To identify effective methods for incorporating, assigning, responding to, and assessing writing in NSU courses To share resources, experiences, and expertise
Why? Because we believe: writing is the responsibility of the entire academic community across a student’s entire time as a NSU student, not just one department, class, or year writing benefits students by promoting learning, self development, and professional achievement writing benefits teachers by improving transfer of course content and evaluation of student learning, and creates an environment for more sophisticated and fruitful student engagement
