You’ll have the opportunity to practice with writing samples from actual students in various disciplines and to work with writing specialists to develop specific grading and commenting strategies for your course. You’ll also learn about the resources available through the Center for Writing. We’ll use polls, breakout rooms, and other online tools to model and practice active learning in an online environment.
