Extend this assignment by asking two or more students to write responses for comparison. You can identify specific topics that they will address. To schedule one of these programs, visit the Writing Center or call Jane Nelson at 766-5004 to make an appointment. To serve U.W. faculty who use writing in their courses, the Writing Center offers introductions, presentations, and workshops. To accommodate large classes, a member of the Writing Center staff will visit the classroom.
Presentations focus on specific writing assignments or questions.
Instructors work with the Writing Center to design a presentation that integrates the assignment goals with strategies for achieving those goals. Presentations may focus on any stage of the writing process. Like Writing Center presentations, workshops are collaborative efforts between an instructor and the Writing Center. Workshops are appropriate when students are engaged in the writing process and are ready to share their writing with peers in the classroom. Instructors work with the Writing Center to plan when and how to conduct a writing workshop .
