Evaluations of WI workshops:
Result posted on another document from Alan. Highlights:
1. Really liked building an assignment, useful, getting feedback from other: practical and better.
2. Agreement with Bean book and need to have a copy.
3. Get help to set up a module more than just one assignment: phase 2.
4. Timing and duration: not in agreement: options: end of school year, adjunct WI instructor workshops, big numbers
5. Room was hot
6. May have been too elementary for experienced people: satellite workshops for another year
7. Odds and ends: Grading, research and theory, critical reading and critical writing, process, discipline specific writing.
