Writing Workshops: Classroom
This series of downloadable workshops is designed to provide instructors with support in teaching concepts of writing, and to provide students with a resource for self-directed improvement of their writing skills.
Occasionally, especially for teachers outside the English Department, the Writing Lab will be willing to facilitate a workshop for a class or to develop additional workshops to meet the instructional needs of a specific context.
If you are interested, please phone 494-3723 or visit the Writing Lab reception desk in Heavilon 226. A Writing Lab representative will contact you about your workshop request. Please make your request at least two weeks prior to the presentation date.
