Dear Colleagues,

Writing at Queens invites you to attend a Write to Learn workshop featuring strategies to incorporate more writing into your classes in the form of low-stakes, minimally graded assignments. The fifteen-minute "write to learn" exercises we will discuss will give your students techniques to use writing to help them understand course material. Unlike longer essays or term papers, these kinds of informal writing assignments are a useful way for students to critically think about a lecture and for faculty to evaluate the success of a class session. Those faculty teaching large-format courses might find this workshop particularly useful.

The workshop will be held on both Tuesday November 13 and Wednesday November 14 from 12:15 to 1:30 in President's Conference Room #2 in Rosenthal Library. Please RSVP to Cecilia Britez: cecilia.britez@qc.cuny.edu.

best,
Kevin
