Writing Fellows are available to help instructors who are assigning at least two papers in a course with an enrollment of around 15 to 45 undergraduates, preferably without a TA.

Instructors interested in working with the Fellows program for Fall of 2018 or Spring of 2019 should send Carol Severino an email describing the course; she will contact you about how the program might work with the class.

Each Writing Fellow works with about 8-14 undergraduate students, with larger courses assigned more than one fellow. 

• Writing Fellows are Honors undergraduate students who have been trained in peer tutoring.
• Writing Fellows work closely with the instructor to learn the goals of the course and the purpose of each assignment.
• Fellows respond to two writing assignments, one before the first half of the semester, and one after.
• Fellows read first drafts carefully, making marginal comments and noting patterns of errors in style and grammar.
• Fellows write each student a letter about the draft, noting if the student has fulfilled the demands of the assignment.
• Within a week, fellows return the draft and letter to the student and hold individual conferences about strategies and options for revision.
