WAC at Confederation
Would you like to improve the writing of your students? Improve their learning of your lecture material? Are you looking for new ways to engage your students in your course materials? If this interests you, contact Linda Nicholl at [email protected]
How does WAC work?
- WAC faculty will meet with you to discuss ways to incorporate writing assignments into any class, small or large.
- Help Review and tailor any of your assignments that have a writing component to help make it clearer for students and to help develop rubrics for speed and accuracy of grading.
- Visit your class to help students get started on your writing assignments.
- Hold workshops on creating good writing assignments.
- Host discussions of how to improve the writing of students in your programs.
- Conduct reviews of writing assignments in your departments courses to identify exactly what your students are being asked to write—and to ensure that they have access to resources on how to write (online and on-campus) (University of Alberta, WAC, 2002).
