Individual Instruction
Writing Center instructors aim to teach students, in all disciplines (except for Comm-A courses) and at all levels, to become more effective writers.
In individual meetings, our 50 experienced composition instructors help students develop and organize ideas for papers, theses, or dissertations; although we do not offer a proofreading service, instructors provide a critical audience for students, pointing out possible problems in their drafts and offering advice for revisions.
Online Writing Center
We offer one of the most comprehensive online writing centers in the country. Our website offers detailed information about the Writing Center, descriptions and schedules for our workshops, academic writing handouts, instruction via email, and online conferences.
Workshops
The Writing Center offers a wide variety of noncredit classes for undergraduate and graduate students that review basic principles of writing and introduce common forms of academic writing.
Each semester, we send instructors a booklet about our current workshop offerings. We’d be glad to send you more copies for your students; just call the director (3-3823), or send us an email (wcenter@writing.wisc.edu).
Schedules and online registration for these workshops are also posted on our website.
Class Visits & Co-teaching
We’re happy to visit your class to make a brief presentation about our services. Or we can work with you to tailor some writing instruction for your class. Arrange a class visit.
