Please join us for a roundtable discussion on teaching literary critical writing to undergraduates, featuring Alice Staveley, Judy Richardson, Gabi Keane, L. Maria Bo, and Mattea Koon. Critical writing skills form an essential part of the English department's curriculum, and such writing assignments provide opportunities for assessment in many of our classes. But when we teach writing, what do we want students to take away from our courses? How should we teach it, especially within the limitations of the quarter system? Our roundtable participants will reflect on their own experience teaching literary critical writing to undergraduates in a range of classes and programs offered by the department, and they will share suggestions and strategies that graduate students and faculty alike can adapt for use in their own classrooms. This roundtable will take place on Monday, May 12 at 5:00 in the Terrace Room (Room 426) of Margaret Jacks Hall. After about an hour and a half of discussion, including the Q&A, dinner will be provided for attendees. We hope to have further informal conversations about pedagogy between faculty and grads over this dinner.
