Writing to Reflect

Writing is taught within the Composition Program and in more than 60 percent of Core Education courses; it’s listed as a specific learning outcome for more than 70 percent of UO majors – it’s truly a shared project. But how do UO students experience writing tasks, and how can we meet the moment—one characterized by more easily accessible artificial intelligence systems and the lingering impacts of remote instruction on students’ foundational skills? 

In this session, the findings of a recent UO research project will ground a broader discussion about how students struggle with time management and anxiety when it comes to writing. We will also be joined by faculty leaders in writing instruction who will share approachable and adaptable techniques for guiding students as they use writing to reflect, think, and grow.
