Writing Assignments
Online Faculty Development Course
Lots of college courses have students writing, but the nature of those assignments vary widely by discipline, level, and professor. Below are some general tips, some of which might be particularly helpful in your discipline.
The Writing Center
The Canisius College Writing Center is as online as it is on campus. Your students can get coaching and support from the writing center staff. Add the link below to your D2L course space, syllabus, and writing assignment prompts:

Many professors point out to students that having the writing center look at a draft is a good practice for even confident writers, and not just students who feel they are struggling with their writing. A second pair of eyes is a powerful editorial asset for any writer!
