Designing writing assignments to improve student learning and simplify the feedback process for instructors

Workshop leader: , The Ohio State University

Are you frustrated about writing assignments? In this workshop, experts in writing and science will unlock the secret to designing writing assignments that make clear requests of graduate and undergraduate students and are easy to evaluate. We’ll focus on the “transparency in teaching and learning,” or TILT, method for designing and assessing assignments. Plus, you’ll have a chance to practice what you learn by working with other participants to design an effective writing assignment for a course you teach.

Integrating inclusive, evidence-based practices into your training programs and mentorship to support career development

Workshop leader: , University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School

A lack of inclusive and equitable support for career development has been linked to the mental health crisis in graduate education and to the loss of individuals from historically marginalized groups from science. Let’s explore strategies for training programs and faculty mentors to better support students and postdocs in their career exploration, career planning and use of individual development plans. We will also discuss evidence-based approaches — especially practices that enhance inclusivity and equity — being used in educational models that are part of the ASBMB-supported Professional Development Hub Collection “.”
