Hello Colleagues,


Happy New Year! We hope you had a restful break. We are doing one last push for our Writing Across the Curriculum course, part of the Certificate in College Teaching. We're hoping to attract some STEM grad students, TAs currently supporting writing, or post-docs who are interested in using writing in their classes (whether low-stakes, major assignments, etc.). No need for writing expertise - we hope to develop and learn together. Projects will focus on students' disciplinary backgrounds and future plans. Please share widely.


Here is the course description:

IA 621: Teaching Writing Across the Curriculum

(3 units)

Thursdays 9:30 am - 12:00 pm In Person


In this project-based seminar, we will explore writing and learn strategies for making writing a more integrated, fundamental part of our teaching practice and disciplines; also known as Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC). Students will explore key concepts and theories, translate these ideas into classroom activities, assessment, and assignment prompts, research writing conventions in their disciplines, and propose a project of their choice at the end of the course. Appropriate for anyone with an interest in learning more about teaching writing at the college level.


If anyone has any questions about enrolling in this course please contact Kristin Winet (kwinet at arizona.edu<mailto:kwinet at arizona.edu>) and/or Emily Jo Schwaller (emilyjoschwaller at arizona.edu<mailto:emilyjoschwaller at arizona.edu>) or feel free to enroll directly. Please register by Monday, January 9, 2023.

Thanks!
Emily Jo and Kristin
