A meeting between you and the writing fellow before the semester begins is essential. At that time, you can discuss the role of the writing fellow, present your expectations, and review writing assignments. The fellow can help you integrate notions from WATU literature, and you can ensure that both of you have the same goals for student writing. Although we make no formal demands on faculty, we encourage all new faculty to attend a brief portion of the orientation and to read through the WATU Handbook and other materials we give writing fellows. The Writing Center has resource materials that are at your disposal.
Affiliated faculty are welcome to call with questions or suggestions at any time.
