Diversity and the ICC (register here)
The importance of IC courses that engage issues of diversity increases as we transition to our new undergraduate core curriculum. This forum includes a review of the ICC description of the “diversity” attribute, as well as provides an opportunity for faculty to ask questions regarding student learning objectives, workshop ideas for new courses, and share their experiences teaching a diversity-focused curriculum. We look forwarding to working with you.

WRITING WORKSHOP 3 OF 3: INTEGRATION OF SOURCES
The ethical and effective integration of sources is fundamental to all academic writing and one of the most difficult intellectual challenges that students face. This workshop will emphasize the importance of recognizing and communicating disciplinary expectations as faculty share their own concerns and successful pedagogical practices. Faculty will learn about current research in this area (e.g. Howard et al) and try out different activities for assisting students in learning to weave their own ideas with those of sources.
