Faculty Development Opportunities for FYS

Web of Inquiry Course Design Series: Written Communication & FYS

This faculty development workshop series will include four 75 min sessions. We hope participants will leave each workshop with a better understanding of Written Communication and FYS course objectives and a practical list of activities and assignments to incorporate directly into their course design.
