'Live Edit' Sessions to Improve Student Writing

Developing students’ written communication is a key goal for many instructors and for the university as a whole. Yet, the path toward that goal can be slow and frustrating (both for students and instructors). In this quick “popup” workshop, Mike Murashige, CoDaC’s Writing Consultant, will introduce instructors to the “live edit,” a 30-60 minute session which allows instructors to engage in a dialogue about revision rather than simply providing students with a “to do” list to improve their writing. Meant sometimes to supplement, other times to entirely replace, traditional commenting, it gives writers greater access to the process of making their writing better.

Monday, May 3, 3:00-3:40 p.m.
