Publicity Page . Professors and Writing Colleagues Professors who work with Writing Colleagues receive constant feedback about how students are responding to class discussion, assigned texts, and writing assignments. Because Writing Colleagues are also students, they often have the insider's privilege of being included in conversations that are closed off to professors. Also, professors who work with Colleagues gain partners in teaching.
Colleagues are a resource for the professor as well as for the students.
Colleagues have assisted professors in the project of writing effective assignments, designing classroom activities, and leading class discussions. Students and Writing Colleagues Students who work with Writing Colleagues benefit from an audience that includes their peers. As writers, students get to meet individually with readers of their work. This gives students the opportunity to discuss their writing seriously with another student and extends the conversation of ideas beyond the classroom. It encourages students to experiment with their writing and receive feedback without the pressure of a grade.
