The University Writing Programs have a wide variety of resources to support faculty with teaching and assessing students' written work.
“At all times, we should provide our students with an experience where no matter what the material, they are encouraged to discover their individual points of view and are given the chance to see that these are worthy of attention, that others are listening, and that there are effective ways to communicate them in writing. And by focussing on this, we will help our students to understand, and even enjoy, the process of writing."1
