Registration for Faculty COI Workshop now open
How do students learn to write and do research?  Are you satisfied with the results of your writing or research assignments? Successful Macalester students need to develop the ability to find and use information resources effectively in addressing scholarly questions, and to use writing to clarify thinking and describe, persuade, document and analyze. This process begins in the first year and continues through the senior capstone.  Please join us in a participatory peer workshop that focuses on assignment design to enhance information fluency and writing skills.  The Community of Inquiry: Assignment Design for Research and Writing is open to all faculty, with a special emphasis for faculty who are teaching in the first year course program.  This is an opportunity to share ideas with colleagues and develop a specific assignment for a course.

Sponsored by the CST, Library and MAX Center, the workshop will be held:

• Monday, May 19, 9am-3pm
• Tuesday, May 20, 9am-noon
• Thursday, May 21, 9am-noon

Workshop participants will receive a $200 stipend.

Advance registration for the workshop is required.  Please register by May 9 at http://www.macalester.edu/library/forms/registercoi.html

If you have any questions about this workshop, please direct them to Jean Beccone or Beth Hillemann (Library) or Becky Graham (MAX Center.)
