style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#993300'>In this workshop participants will learn
how to use a system for assessing writing and thinking throughout the
curriculum. Appropriate for assessing individual students' writing and
thinking in the classroom, as well as for assessing programs, tools for
faculty, assessment teams and peer review will be examined and applied.
An online version of the assessment, feedback and instructional tool will be
demonstrated. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>In collaboration with Elizabeth Metzger,
Ph.D., Dr. Flateby developed the Cognitive Level and Quality of Writing
Assessment (CLAQWA) classroom assessment instrument. Over a period of
approximately ten years, CLAQWA has evolved into a system to assess writing
strengths and weaknesses, as well as the cognitive levels exhibited in writing,
by individual faculty and assessment teams. Recently, a peer review
process and an online assessment and feedback/tutorial system have been created
to enhance students' writing and thinking. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
