Welcome!
Writing is common in higher education courses, but many would suggest that it is actually underused or used ineffectively. This tutorial will introduce you to Writing to Learn and Writing Across the Curriculum, and it will also help you develop effective high-stages and low-stakes writing assignments for your courses.
The Center for Teaching and Learning offers other tutorials that relate to this topic. Check out Designing Plagiarism-Proof Assignments, Getting Started with Active Teaching, and Service-Learning.
