Faculty Resources

The Writing Program's Online Resources

The Writing Program web site offers two resources that you will find useful as you design and teach your writing courses. Our On-line Student Resources offer textbook-quality writing advice about every aspect of the writing process, from coming up with a topic, to writing a thesis, to structuring an argument, to attending to grammar and style. Our On-line Faculty Resources offer an overview of writing pedagogies and methods, as well as ideas for teaching writing that we've collected from Dartmouth faculty. If you would like to talk about ideas for teaching writing in your course, please contact Karen Gocsik (karen.gocsik@dartmouth.edu), Executive Director of the Writing Program.

The Writing Assistance Program

Writing Assistants are undergraduate tutors who enhance writing instruction in courses across the disciplines by providing students written feedback on their first drafts. If you would like to know more about the program, or if you would like to request a writing assitant, please contact Stephanie Boone (stephanie.boone@dartmouth.edu), Director of Writing Support.

RWIT

Located on the first floor of Berry Library, RWIT - the Student Center for Research, Writing, and Information Technology - staffs undergraduate tutors who are trained to help your students with their writing, research, and technology needs. The RWIT web site also serves as a hub site for students looking for on-line advice about writing, research, and multi-media composition.
