With their focus on quality over quantity, shorter writing assignments increase student precision, reduce fluff, discourage procrastination, and strengthen writing skills. When paired with in-class peer-review activities, using sentence outlines, and some limited coaching, the result is stronger and shorter papers that allow you to spend less time grading and responding. During this virtual workshop, we will look at these and other strategies to meet your assignment goals in fewer pages. Participants are welcome to bring one of their existing ‘long’ writing assignments.
