Transparent Assignment Design: A FacDev -- Learning Resource Center (LRC) Collaboration - Spring 2024

The Transparent Assignments Series is designed to support you through the process of revising an assignment so that more students can succeed in your course. Please join the Learning Resource Center (LRC) and Faculty Development for a four-part series as we work toward creating more transparent writing prompts, better scaffolding, and more effective collaborations between instructors and the Writing Center. 

This program promotes student writing improvement across the disciplines and at all levels through the use of an evidence-based assignment template, which has been shown to reduce gaps in retention rates among first-generation students.

Faculty who successfully complete all series activities will receive funding of $200.  Please note that faculty are welcome to complete the series multiple times, but are only able to receive funding once.
