Comprehensive Plan for Improving Writing Skills College of Education and Human Sciences - $15,000
Linda Young (Nutrition and Health Sciences)
This project funds the work of creating a comprehensive plan to improve the writing skills of undergraduates in each of six major options in the Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences. Tasks include identifying the range of writing required for career success in the six options; identifying where in the curriculum students are or should be learning these skills; developing specific assignments for students to learn skills; and evaluating opportunities for students to progressively develop writing skills by building on learned skills. The project also funds work with faculty to develop effective feedback mechanisms to students.
