Si Happy Hour- Writing-to-Learn in Large-enrollment Classes ( with Erin Vasudevan, Peter Gergen & Bill Collins)
Writing is a core skill of many STEM professions. Writing can also help students think through key concepts or ideas presented in a course. Although many instructors can appreciate the learning opportunities offered by written assignments, those of us who teach large undergraduate classes face practical barriers to incorporating writing in our curricula. Using two large-enrollment biology classes at Stony Brook University as examples, this Happy Hour will explore practical strategies for constructing, collecting, and providing feedback on written assignments utilizing peer assessment (as opposed to teams of content experts).
