How do I develop effective assignments to support the objectives of my course?  Course objectives are a significant component of the new IDEA evaluations and the purpose of this workshop is to help faculty create assignments in light of these objectives.  It will utilize strategies presented by Dr. Chris Anson in last summer’s Writing Across the Curriculum Seminar.   Come to the workshop with a specific course and its objectives in mind.  The workshop will help you develop an assignment to meet one of these course objectives.
