Teaching Strategies: Writing Links
Writing
for Learning, Not Just for Demonstrating Learning From the University
of Massachusetts, Amherst, Peter Elbow describes a number of concrete ideas
for helping students write better in all courses, with an emphasis on writing
to learn. He outlines strategies for designing effective writing assignments
and for responding to and evaluating student work.
Writing
Resource Center An extensive and exhaustive site with articles
and links of interest to writers. All aspects of writing are covered, and
this site would be of interest to both faculty and aspiring student writers.
The Alliance for
Computers and Writing The Alliance for Computing and Writing had its
origins in the concept that more and more people are beginning to use technology
in their writing classrooms and therefore require an immediate and continuing
source of practical information, principally information shared by
more experienced colleagues.

on communication across the curriculum through links, articles, books,
and current submissions.

the Curriculum This Georgia State University site offers a concise
history of Writing Across the Curriculum and a number of discipline specific
writing links.

and language arts, including an alphabetical index of past issues.

Teaching
Students to Take Better Notes This site explores the question:
why is it important for your students to take notes? Studies find that
note taking helps students focus attention, promotes more thorough elaboration
of ideas, and encourages efforts to relate ideas and organize materials.
In short, note taking helps students to process information more deeply.
Grading
Written Assignments We have all been overwhelmed by the grading process.
Though many of the tips below may appear to be time-consuming, they can
in fact lead to a reduction in grading time and more importantly, a more
productive, fruitful use of that time.
