Writing that helps students form and communicate their ideas is both a type of student learning and a means for students to express their understanding. Some key questions and resources to incorporate and improve writing are these:

• Designing Effective Writing Assignments: How can I plan assignments so that my students learn by writing and at the same time learn to write better?

• In-Class Writing Assignments: What examples of in-class writing assignments could I use, and what can they do for my course?

• Common Criteria for "Good Writing" Response Sheet: Which relatively simple guidelines could I use to grade writing assignments and to communicate these criteria to students?

• Faculty Resources Help Students Help Themselves: What resources does UNI provide if my students need help getting started, if they want to do research and report writing, or when they need proofreading power tools?

• Dr. Grammar: Where can I refer my students to independently learn more about words and grammar?

• Printer-Friendly Handouts for General Writing Concerns: What specific help can I give my students on the elements of writing?

• Writer's Web Topics: What help can I provide on the stages of student writing?
