Our data on usage show that students who receive orientations to the Writing Centre in their courses use it more often and more effectively. We therefore encourage faculty in all areas to request a brief (5-10 min) orientation for students in the first weeks of classes.
We offer orientations to students in any course and at any level. Orientations can be tailored to your classroom and discipline and inform students about what the Writing Centre does, how we can help students become successful in their writing assignments, and how to make appointments at the Centre and use its resources (e.g. handouts and discipline-specific writing guides).
Orientations can be booked by emailing writing.centre@ufv.ca or by calling the Centre at local 4282.
Please book your in-class orientation by Sept 10. When booking, please let us know
- your course name
- section number
- classroom number
- date and time you’d like us to come by.
With best wishes for a productive semester,
