Short Article about Writing in Your Course

Faculty receive $500 for completing an article.

Within one quarter of completing the workshop, faculty are invited to write a short (5 to 10-page) relatively informal discussion of the writing component they develop for their course. 

This piece should briefly introduce the course in ways that would be clear to nonexpert faculty colleagues, explain the writing assignments and teaching practices you developed, and include some discussion of what you hope the writing component will achieve and why. 

You might also discuss possible challenges you anticipate the students facing—or that you might face in teaching the course.

Write for an audience of DU faculty members. 

The Writing Program may select and edit some of these articles for use in future workshops, publish them on the Website, or so on.  (We will contact you before we do so!)

The Writing Program will process your $500 payment immediately on receiving your article.
