Instructor Information
Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):
Writing Matters offers instructors and students an accessible four-part framework that focuses the rules and conventions of writing through a lens of responsibility, ultimately empowering students to own their ideas and to view their writing as consequential. Writing Matters emphasizes writing as a set of authors' responsibilities: to other writers by using sources fairly and creating original work; to their audience by writing clearly, designing accessibly, and offering necessary insights; to their topic by exploring it thoroughly, assessing sources carefully, and providing reliable depth; and to themselves by treating writing as a learning process and contributing meaningfully to larger discussions.
