Cracking the Code: Interpreting Prompts and Understanding How Your Work Is Graded

Cracking the Code: Interpreting Prompts and Understanding How Your Work Is Graded Online

If you have ever stared blankly at a writing assignment and felt like you just did not fully understand what you need to do, this webinar is for you. Join Cindy Daugherty, ASC writing specialist, for a practical workshop that will help you decode writing assignment prompts, leverage the rubric to support your writing, and feel more empowered as you approach your coursework. In this interactive workshop, we will learn how to use a framework to begin understanding the assignment, use specific tips for dissecting prompts, and discuss the purpose of rubrics in writing success. Even if a prompt seems short, you can use the framework in this webinar to feel prepared to write well in your courses.  You’ll walk away with strategies to help you focus your efforts, ask meaningful questions, and understand not just what to write—but how to approach it.
