W Teaching Orientation

08:30 AM - 02:00 PM

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 instructorâs 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.
