Abstract

Faculty in all disciplines ask students to create texts as a way to show what they are learning in a course. But many faculty have no recent, formal training in designing and evaluating writing assignments. This colloquium will address how to evaluate the effectiveness of the writing assignments you make and the quality of the students' written work you receive. We will look at sample grading rubrics and assignments in mathematics courses and consider how they relate to grading, plagiarism, general education, and faculty workload at UM.
