ENGL 1900 Required Assignments
Dissoi Logoi
Note: all of the examples below ask students to engage in dissoi logoi beyond two perspectives or "sides." Students should not be able to compose two contrasting essays. Effective dissoi logoi prompts should ask students to engage in - at minimum - three (and probably at most four) key perspectives, sides, stakeholders, or other significant factors personalized to your course and theme.

In addition to the dissoi logoi assignment prompt, Writing Program instructors are expected to evaluate these projects using this rubric.
While some changes can be made to the rubric (adding an assessment criteria to meet a special course outcome), be aware that instructors should not make significant changes to the four key criteria included here.
