Curriculum Enhancement Grant Symposium, Keynote by Brian Coppola
Thursday, October 17, 2013 | University Library Lilly Auditorium | 2 - 6 p.m.
Register» | Organizer: Terri Tarr | Presenter: Brian Coppola
Held to honor and celebrate the successes of the 2012 Curriculum Enhancement Grant (CEG) awardees, the 2013 CEG Symposium will feature a keynote address by Brian Coppola, award-winning Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry from the University of Michigan, titled Lessons from Three Decades of Subversion in which he will review a set of four simple teaching principles that, in today’s climate, might seem subversive. The event also will feature poster presentations by 2012 CEG recipients, a reception, and a drawing for five free copies of the book Engaging in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
The purpose of the CEG initiative is to provide faculty with support, time, and resources to implement projects designed to improve student learning and success. In addition, it is expected that the grants will increase faculty competitiveness for external educational or curricular improvement grants and increase the number of faculty involved in pursuing the scholarship of teaching and learning. For more information on the CEG initiative and the 2012 awardees and their projects, go to http://ctl.iupui.edu/programs/CEG
All faculty are encouraged to attend the CEG symposium, but especially those who are planning to apply for CEG funding in the future.

Welcome and CEG Future Directions, 2 - 2:30 p.m.
Keynote Address and Q&A, 2:30 - 3:45 p.m.

Designing Writing Assignments for Non-native English
Speaking Students
Wednesday, October 30, 2013 | UL 1125M | 12 - 1:30 p.m.
Register» | Organizer: Terri Tarr and Presenters: Estela Ene and Frank Smith
Do you have international students and other non-native speakers of English in your class? Do you wonder how you can design writing assignments that work for them as well as for your mainstream American students, without increasing your workload? In a university in which the international population is growing by leaps and bounds, faculty need to communicate assignment requirements and feedback in a way that speaks more clearly to this population. This workshop will define the difficulties non-native speakers of English may have with writing assignments and will illustrate, with examples of assignments and assessment tools, effective pedagogical solutions for designing and assessing writing assignments in any discipline or course level. Questions addressed in this workshop include:
- What is good student writing, and what is truly important when evaluating a student’s paper?
- What is difficult about designing assignments and evaluating the writing of students who are not native speakers of English?
- Why do some students who have been studying English for a long time still make the same mistakes?
- What pedagogical techniques can be implemented without spending significantly more time than with native English speaking students?
The workshop will begin with a group reflection and discussion on perceptions of good writing and writing by non-native speakers of English. The presenters will involve the audience in analyses of student writing, writing assignments and evaluation criteria, alternating between small- and large-group discussion and presentation of content by the workshop leaders.
