Teaching assistants are an integral part of Writing Intensive courses; as such, this workshop provides resources to help TAs manage the special demands of Writing Intensive courses. We welcome novice, veteran, and prospective TAs to attend this in-person session on August 21 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Teaching for Learning Center. Lunch will be provided.

The interactive workshop provides TAs:

• practice in assessing writing assignments and norming grades with colleagues

• methods to balance content and mechanics in the assessment process

• strategies for conferencing with students about their writing

• resources to support peer review in small group or discussion sections

This workshop will fulfill the requirement to attend a WI workshop for certification to assist in a Writing Intensive course. For more information on this requirement, click here.
