The Writing Center in your classroom

​This service is so important it has its own page! Read more about Writing Fellows here. 

​The Writing Center also offers:

Short Term Writing Fellows and Short Term Oral Communication Fellows. A short-term fellow would be attached to your course for 2-4 weeks (depending on your need), providing support like feedback to your students on writing or speaking projects and assistance during peer response. You can read more about full semester and short term fellow on our Writing Fellows page. 

Help with Online Peer Response. The Writing Center can send either Writing Tutors or Oral Communication Consultants to help you facilitate peer response during an online class session. 

Other things? If you imagine another way Writing Tutors or Oral Communication Consultants could help your class during a single class period or for a few weeks, go ahead and pitch it to us! We'll see what we can do.

To request a short-term fellow or other in class support, complete this request form. We typically need at least 2 weeks notice to provide an in-class service. No in-class services are available during the first week of classes. 

Students are more likely to use the services of the Writing Center or Oral Communication Consultants if they feel more familiar with the service and realize that you think our resources are important for their success in the course. ​

This is an 8 minute narrated PowerPoint Presentation that introduces students to the idea of a writing center, what services we offer, and how to make an appointment. Feel free to use it in your classes.

Additionally, this tutorial video provides a brief, 4 minute overview of the services of the Oral Communication Consultants and how to make an appointment. The video can be embedded into your Canvas course or shared as a link. 

If you share these videos with your students and they or you have follow up questions, you may email Director Jennifer Follett (jfollett@udel.edu) for questions about writing tutoring or  Associate Director Chris Volker (chvolker@udel.edu) for questions about oral communication consulting. We would be happy to write a response for you to share with your students.
