Would you like to learn how to develop strong writing prompts, communicate clear expectations, and provide better scaffolding and support to students? The Transparent Assignments Series is designed to guide you through the process of revising an assignment so that more students can succeed in your course. 

Please join the Learning Resource Center and Faculty Development for this four-part series as we work toward creating more transparent writing prompts, better scaffolding, and more effective collaborations between instructors and the University 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.
