English | ISBN: 1648894089 | 2022 | 142 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This volume offers a range of responses to the problem of "disposable assignments," essays written just for a grade and then thrown away.

Although there is significant interest in such innovative teaching practices, particularly in this year of pedagogical experimentation, there are few resources for teachers that collect in one place both scholarly context and practical advice for implementing renewable assignments in the classroom.
