This course is designed to help students gain the skills needed to succeed as Writing Fellows. To develop these skills, course content will integrate practical information related to the responsibilities of Fellows with discussions about writing-to-learn teaching philosophies. Through readings, discussions, and in-class activities, Fellows will learn how to use Canvas to manage student assignments as well as hone their skills in writing responses to assignment prompts. Class meetings will involve group discussions about topics relevant to writing fellows as well as short writing activities including reflection pieces and short minute writes.
