Effective Writing Assignments

Lindemann's chapter on effective writing assignments didn't exactly connect directly to my thesis prospectus, but the fact that she discussed making assignments geared towards the students falls somewhere along the lines of what I'm writing about. She gave an example of having students who just got into the university write about the effectiveness of the brochures they were given. Since I'm writing about whether it's the attitudes towards composition that make writers either single or multi-drafters, I did want to express in the prospectus that I think there is a correlation between a positive attitude about composition and being a multi-drafter. Maybe if educators presented writing topics that were more student-centered, then they would get the effort they so desire with multiple drafts.
