Consultations with Writing Across the Curriculum Faculty Consultants
WAC’s mission includes helping instructors and teaching assistants in all disciplines integrate effective writing instruction into their undergraduate courses. Our consultants, who have decades of experience teaching writing in a variety of disciplines, offer one-on-one consultations with faculty and workshops for teaching assistants.
In past consultations, we have assisted instructors-of-record in doing such things as
- developing discipline-specific writing assignments,
- redesigning courses to incorporate more writing opportunities,
- using writing to meet course learning outcomes,
- designing new courses that will fulfill the Writing Experience core literacy requirement,
- building revision into writing sequences,
- guiding student writing during discussion sections and office hours,
- evaluating and commenting on student writing,
- developing effective rubrics,
- responding to multilingual students' writing, and
- incorporating low-stakes writing-to-learn activities into their courses.
