As you gear up for Spring, please remember the services the Writing and Reading Center can offer for you and your students:
- Feedback on Assignments: The best way to know if your assignments will be understood by your students is to first have Readers in the WRC look them over. We’d be happy to provide feedback on anything you are handing out.
- Library WRC Hours: We will be featuring a Reader in the Osterlin Library one night per week. More details to follow!
- Reading Specialist: Victoria Willson will be working in the WRC as our Reading Specialist. Often students who struggle are not comprehending their reading. Send them our way and we’ll help them with reading strategies.
- WRC Resources: We have bookmarks to give to students and a quick video presentation to show them about the WRC’s services, which can be easily included in your Moodle shell. If you want bookmarks, let me know and I’ll send them along. In addition, we have somefunny commercials made by previous Readers. Also, see our website for more instructor resources.
- Share Assignments: Please send copies of your assignments to us, so we can keep them in our files. This helps us immensely with students who forget to bring their guidelines with them.
- Phone Appointments: Students who are unable to make it to campus can schedule a point appointment. See the website for details.
- Classroom Visits: If you would like to schedule someone to come to your class to talk about the WRC or if you want to bring your classes to the WRC for a tour, simply email me and we’ll schedule a time.
- Requiring Visits: We’d be happy to accommodate your students, but if you are requiring a visit for a paper, please let me know, to assure we have the appointments available in the time you need.
- Unique Assignments: If you have anything specific you want us to be aware of, let us know. We can help you in any way!
The WRC will be opening Monday, January 21st.
