“After years of identifying a deficiency in writing proficiency for Master’s Nursing students, The University of Rochester sought out a remedy. We designed a writing course to incorporate unique aspects such as clarified expectations, formative feedback, scaffolding techniques, opportunities for reflection, self-directed learning and faculty development while incorporating an IntelliMetric® benchmark writing assessment to measure the impact of the course in students’ writing growth towards proficiency.”
