Bean, John C.: From Novice to Expert: Designing Writing Assignments to Teach Disciplinary Ways of Thinking and Arguing

"Dr. John Bean, Professor of English at Seattle University, gives a lecture on how to integrate writing and other critical thinking activities into a course as part of the Baruch College Master Teacher Series for faculty development.

Dr. Bean’s discussion is based on his book Engaging Ideas: The Professor’s Guide to Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom (Jossey-Bass, 1996), which has been extremely well received by many members of Baruch faculty as well as by a national audience. Dr Bean is introduced by Associate Provost Dennis Slavin.

The workshop takes place on October 14, 2008, at the Newman Conference Center, Room 763."
