CWAC 200 - Writing Adviser Training

Lower Division

This pass/fail, labor-based course prepares undergraduate students to facilitate small group discussion in the Center for Writing Across the Curriculum (CWAC) and work with writers from any discipline, level, or stage of the writing process. Through research, discussion, observation, and community engagement, students will learn collaborative strategies for active listening and asking questions to help draw out writers’ ideas, respond to others’ writing from the perspective of a reader, and offer constructive feedback in a consistent, supportive, and respectful manner. Discussion topics include philosophical and educational questions about how people learn, which mindsets and strategies encourage reflection, and which tools help writers read their own work critically and revise for considerations of audience and purpose. Open to students of freshmen, sophomore, and junior standing (with no more than 90 units earned).
