Join Director of Writing, Alexis Hart, for a discussion of the “Writing Experiences” chapter of John Warner’s 2018 book “Why They Can’t Write,” in which Warner claims, “I believe that to help students write better … we need to get out of the ‘essay’ business entirely” (155) and offers strategies to avoid writing assignments that “are unpleasant for students to write and boring or frustrating for instructors to read” (155). There are two opportunities: Thursday, Februrary 28, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Campus Center 206, and Wednesday, March 6, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Collaboratory.
