Moderator: Laura Hartmann-Villalta, Johns Hopkins University

Advanced writing teachers often find themselves at odds with vague writing; and yet, when designing course and university policies, a vaguer, less-prescriptive approach can foster autonomy. This panel examines the collision of these two contrasting principles in the advanced writing classroom through designs of student assignments along with course policies on assessment and A.I.
