In this Teaching Matters essay, Sarah Johnson, Senior Instructional Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Law, Letters, and Society Program, and a past Associate Pedagogy Fellow in the CCTL, discusses how she integrates writing instruction into her Social Sciences Core course—a model that may be adapted to other courses for which teaching writing is not the primary aim, but in which writing is nevertheless an important learning and assessment activity.
Teaching Matters is the pedagogy column from the CCTL. It aims to further the pedagogical conversation at UChicago by providing a venue for faculty, instructors, and CCTL staff to share their reflections on their approach to teaching, discuss strategies and innovations from their classrooms, and respond to ideas and trends in pedagogical practice and discourse.
