Location

Description
Often the math and science classroom is not a place where undergraduate students expect to write, but the writing across the curriculum (WAC) program is working to change student expectations. As part of the WAC Network initiative, faculty in math, science, and other disciplines completed a full-day WAC workshop to bring more writing activities to the classroom. In this workshop, faculty from physics, earth sciences, and biomechanics share their recent experiences integrating more writing assignments into their courses. Professor Kling will report on the results of a CART summer 2007 grant that was used to develop “Writing to Learn” labs in physics where the lab experience is structured around writing assignments. Bring a pen and paper: writing is required!
