Comm-B TA Training
The WAC program leads a training for teaching assistants new to teaching Communication-B courses (Comm-B faculty and instructional staff are also welcome to join). This cross-curricular training offers strategies for teaching with and assessing writing.
Writing Fellows Program
Our Writing Fellows program prepares selected undergraduate students from a wide range of majors to serve as peer writing tutors in courses across the disciplines. Writing Fellows work closely with instructors and students to improve student writing through commenting and holding conferences.
Individual Consultations
We consult with individual instructors, teaching teams, departments, and curriculum developers to explore the various ways they can incorporate writing into UW-Madison courses.
WAC Sourcebook
Our WAC Sourcebook, called Communicating Across the Curriculum: Resources for High-Impact Teaching with Writing at UW-Madison, includes instructional materials for teaching with writing in disciplines across the curriculum. Featuring assignment examples from UW-Madison instructors, Communicating Across the Curriculum incorporates best practices for designing and assessing formal and low-stakes writing assignments, for working with multilingual writers, for valuing language diversity, for teaching writing with artificial intelligence (AI), and much more.
