The descriptions and examples below illustrate some of the most common writing assignments that students receive at HGSE. However, we want to stress that the most important sources of information regarding any written assignment in your classes are your course syllabus and your teaching team. You are encouraged to always carefully read your syllabus or writing assignment prompts to make sure that you fully understand what is expected. You are also encouraged to ask questions and seek clarification from your teaching team before beginning to write.
