Communication Skills Canvas Workshops
A&L's Communication Skills Workshops are a self-guided series of modules on academic culture, studying, speaking, writing, researching, and reading skills. While created with first-year undergrads in mind, the content can be useful to any student at any time.
The workshops complement a RISD education. Working through the workshops during the regular semester will support confident and timely completion of coursework.
Learning objectives:
- Share views and reflect with peers on cultural and academic topics.
