W Teaching Orientation

Join us for an overview of university-wide expectations for W courses and a discussion of pragmatic strategies for making writing-intensive courses across the disciplines more engaging, effective, and inclusive. All faculty and staff who are teaching any course that involves writing are invited to join us. This orientation is required for all graduate students who intend to teach or assist with a W course or lab.
