Designing and Evaluating Reflective Writing Assignments
Fall 2019
More Details
MT Engage’s commitment to integrative thinking and reflection promotes a strengthening of universal, transferable skills throughout an undergraduate curriculum. Students learn to make connections across multiple contexts and educational experiences. Developing these skills requires consistent reflective writing. This workshop will provide the following benefits to attendees:
- Identify the value of reflective writing assignments as classroom heuristics and as tangible benchmarks for students;
- Create teaching goals for reflective writing assessment to strengthen reflective writing assignments and better understand how to respond to student writing;
- Provide new ways of designing and evaluating reflective writing assignments.
