Academic Project Design - Collaborative Support from E3 & the Writing Program Presents: Pedagogical Support for Large-Scale Student Project Design and Writing
Educational Excellence and Effectiveness (E3) and Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) will co-host this 4-part semester long series, where we will discuss empirically supported methods for instructors to help students successfully design, complete, and write-up large projects for honors, capstones or Master’s or Doctoral theses.
Many UNH instructors and faculty help students to complete projects and theses at the undergraduate and graduate level in disciplines across the university. However, there is not currently any programming to help instructors and faculty learn about and discuss pedagogical approaches to support student project design, implementation, and writing for these large projects, which are often beyond the scope of a single semester’s coursework.
This new program will feature a multi-part series where pedagogical experts from E3 and writing support experts from WAC collaborate to help instructors and faculty develop appropriate teaching procedures to support students in these challenging large-scale project tasks. We will discuss teaching methods for supporting students completing these projects in all disciplines. The first two sessions are for projects in any discipline. The final two sessions will be discipline specific: you can attend just one or both of the following: STEM projects & Humanities Projects.
Session 1: Part 1 of the series for all disciplines: backwards design for projects, timeline management, and how E3 and UWP can provide assistance
- September 25 - 10:00 -11:00
Session 2: Part 2 of the series for all disciplines: backwards design for projects, timeline management, and how E3 and UWP can provide assistance
- October 16 - 10:00 -11:00
Session 3: STEM & Clinical projects – approaches for undergraduate & graduate projects
- November 13 - 10:00 - 11:00 am
Session 4: Humanities projects – approaches for undergraduate & graduate projects
- December 4 - 10:00 - 11:00 am
