Writing Across the Curriculum and the Department of English have developed a new resource - the WAC faculty consultant service - for faculty teaching writing intensive (WI) courses in the major. This new service gives faculty who would like to enhance their teaching of WI classes the opportunity to work one-on-one with an experienced writing teacher throughout a quarter. Join Peggy Lindsey, the WAC Faculty Consultant, and some of the faculty she has already been working with for an informal discussion of this service.

Connecting your WI Class to ENG 101/102 (February 28, 2007)
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
12:15-1:30 p.m.
023 Paul Laurence Dunbar Library (Center for Teaching and Learning)
Join Peggy Lindsey, the WAC Faculty Consultant, to receive information about the two texts most commonly used in ENG101 and 102—Richard Bullock’s The Norton Field Guide to Writing and Diana Hacker’s A Writer's Reference. Because nearly all first year students purchase these texts, faculty can include them on syllabi as recommended/optional texts without requiring additional financial output for most students. Learn how you can use these texts to enhance your WI courses—either simply as a familiar reference point or reminder for students or more extensively as a teaching tool. Lunch will be provided.
