Overview
Key facts
The primary purpose of Rhodes University's Writing in the university - ways of knowing, ways of doing course is to enable academics to conceptualise ways in which they can integrate in their courses an explicit focus on teaching students appropriate and valued ways of reading, writing and thinking in their disciplines. During the course participants analyse and evaluate their current practices in relation to the role that writing, reading and assessment play in building knowledge in their disciplines. This entails identifying and making explicit to themselves the rules, norms and conventions of their disciplines.
Programme Structure
- The intended outcome of the course is that participants will be able to develop a course curriculum that reflects a fully integrated, discipline-based, writing and reading enriched learning experience that facilitates the development of students as 'critical scholars'.
