Time required: Approximately 5-10 minutes
Purpose of Class Visit: This brief presentation introduces students to a Writing Center tutor and the variety of services our team offers. We provide promotional materials for students and encourage them to utilize the Writing Center for free writing support.
Ideal Time to Schedule this Visit: Typically conducted in the first few minutes of class, this presentation is most effective at the beginning of the semester or when assigning students their first writing project.
Advanced Preparation for the Class Visit: None
Time required: To be determined by individual instructors
Purpose of Class Visit: If you are planning to provide students with focused work time on their writing assignment, possibly while conferencing individually with them about their work, considering holding that class session in the Writing Center. We have computers and tables that students can use. Additionally, our writing consultants will circulate among the class to provide additional feedback while you work individually with students. This helps introduce students to the support they can receive in the Writing Center and to familiarize themselves with our space.
Ideal Time to Schedule this Visit: This class visit to the Writing Center works well when conferencing with students regarding feedback on their work, or when you are providing focused time for students to work on a written assignment during class.
Advanced Preparation for the Class Visit: Students should have a writing assignment they are working on, but they can be at various points of the writing process.
Additional workshops focused on various parts of the writing process coming soon!
