- Hiring and training course tutors – successful students recommended by you to work with specific classes.
- Providing writing tutoring, Writing Fellows, and online writing resources.
- Facilitating in-class workshops on a variety of writing and academic skills.
Please take the following steps to integrate our services into your courses:
-
Include the WaLC syllabus statement in your course syllabus and link to us from your Blackboard course.
-
Review the Summer 2013 WaLC Tutor Assignments document (PDF) to see a complete list of our outstanding student staff and their specialty areas.
-
If you have course tutors or Writing Fellows assigned to your courses, request Blackboard access for those individuals as "Student" access. Please do not request "Grader" or "Course Builder" access for tutors. Blackboard access allows tutors to review your course syllabus and familiarize themselves with your expectations for students. To request access, e-mail LMSSupport@wcu.edu and specify in your e-mail the names, 920 numbers, and email addresses of the tutors; the courses and sections to which they will need access; and the level of access needed (student). If you need a tutor's email address or 920 number, please call us at 227-2274.
-
Add the “Tutoring Information” module to your Blackboard course using these instructions. The module provides students with everything they need to know to get connected with our services.
Please note that due to space limitations, instructors should not send an entire class for writing tutoring on the same assignment.
