If
you would like a consultant from the University Writing Center (UWC) to visit
your class(es) and give a short
presentation about the center and its resources, please take a moment to fill
out the information below and send
us your request.
Once we have this information, someone from the writing
center will contact you by phone to arrange a specific day and time for the
visit. In our presentation, we will
distribute information about our hours and location and encourage all students
to bring in drafts of their papers for individual conferencing and assistance. It
should take no more than 5-10 minutes of time at the beginning of your
class.
This is a visit appropriate for all classes at all
levels in all colleges, regardless of whether your students will be working on a
writing project in your course. We have given presentations in
undergraduate classes and graduate seminars, to audiences as small as 5 and as
large as 200. We have given presentations to classes in Interior Design,
Business Management, Kinesiology, Chemistry, Anthropology, History, Art, and
virtually every department in every college across the GSU campus. Since
we began making these visits in the Fall of 2000, we have visited nearly 500
classes and given our presentations to more than 10,000 students.
If you would like your students to get some feedback and
response to their drafts before turning them in, or if you would just like your
students to know that the UWC exists as an important resource for them as they
grow and develop as writers, please consider having us visit your classes this
semester.
We try to make most of our visits during the first week or
two of classes, but we will be happy to schedule another time if that fits more
conveniently with your schedule. If
you have any questions about this program or want additional information, please
call the director, Dr. Michael Pemberton, at 871-1383.
