Writing should meet teaching goals

Asking questions like these about your assignment will help guarantee that writing tasks tie directly to your teaching goals in the class:
  • What specific course objectives will the writing assignment meet?
  • Will informal or formal writing better meet your teaching goals?
  • Will students be writing to learn course material or writing conventions in your discipline or both?
  • Does the assignment make sense to you?
