An orientation to designing and teaching writing-intensive (W) courses will be offered on Monday, August 24, 3:00-4:30pm (online only) and Thursday, August 27, 2:00-3:30pm (Storrs campus, in-person only). For more details and to register, visit this page: https://writingcenter.uconn.edu/w-teaching-orientation/
After reviewing university-wide expectations for W courses, we'll focus on pragmatic strategies for making writing-intensive courses across the disciplines more engaging, effective, and inclusive. We'll also discuss generative AI, a range of ways to grade and respond to writing, a pilot progam that the Writing Center is offering to support your students, and whatever topics you wish to bring up.
All faculty and staff who are teaching any course that involves writing are invited. **This orientation is required for graduate students who teach or assist with a W course or lab.**
The next W Teaching Orientation will be in January 2027.
