“Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard."
--David McCullough, 2002
Writing assignments can be useful for getting students to think more clearly and better articulate their arguments and evidence. How can we create assignments that work for faculty as well? How might we rethink the 10-20 page "term paper" approach to writing and thinking? What kinds of writing can we ask students to do throughout the semester in our non-Writing Department courses?
Join the H & S Pre-Doctoral Fellows for a conversation (over some food) about writing and thinking. All faculty are welcome to come meet the fellows and talk about how to create more precise, purposeful writing and thinking tasks.
