WIM Consultation

For more than ten years, collaboration with exciting teachers has given us a wealth of information about innovative course designs, assignments, and teaching strategies. We have often brought these ideas to informal discussions with faculty members who would like to revise their courses or solve specific problems.

We have also worked with many graduate teaching assistants, individually and in groups, who are not formally appointed to Writing in the Majors courses. This support for teaching assistants has included workshops on responding to student writing in departmental TA training programs and in staff meetings for large courses that assign writing.

Feel free to contact us to discuss any of the following:

  • Course design
  • Development or revision of writing assignments
  • Strategies for responding to student writing
  • Work with peer review and other methods of revision
  • Concerns about particular students
  • ESL problems among student writers
  • Individual or group meetings with TAs
