W Teaching Orientation

Thursday, December 19th, 2019

09:00 AM - 02:30 PM

Storrs Campus
HBL Heritage Room, Level 4

This orientation outlines best practices for teaching writing in the disciplines. It features interactive workshops on building robust revision processes into W courses, designing effective assignments, responding to student writing, and handling the paper load. Our aim is not only to enhance the quality of student learning in W courses but also to explore strategies that can make each instructor’s writing-intensive teaching more effective and rewarding. This orientation is required of all graduate assistants assigned to assist in a 2000+level or to instruct a 1000-level W course.

Jan 25 Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat10:00am

Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat

Saturday, January 25th, 2020

10:00 AM - 05:00 PM

Storrs Campus
Augustus Storrs Hall, Widmer Wing, Rm.016

***advance registration required***

Carving out time to do serious academic writing during the semester can be tough. But finding a place to do it–and a support network of fellow grad students–doesn’t have to be!
Modeled on Stanford University’s dissertation boot camp and UConn faculty writing retreats, the Writing Center and the Graduate Student Senate sponsor days to write–complete with coffee in the mornings and afternoons, with an optional hour break for lunch. (Feel free to bring your own lunch and snacks.)
The goal of this initiative is to provide a distraction-free environment where participants can write. You should come prepared, bringing your notes, books, and laptops, so that you can spend the time getting words on the page. These sessions are not workshops, and no writing instruction will be provided.
We encourage you to stay all day, but half-day tickets are available, too.
