Faculty Resources
This section details faculty- and staff-related information.
Class Visits
• Would you like a KSU Writing Center staff member to visit your class?
• Throughout the semester, we can schedule a ~10 minute presentation for any class.
• We will introduce ourselves, explain our services and resources, and provide a walkthrough
for creating appointments.
• Additionally, we can focus on a specific topic or assignment during the presentation,
if requested.
Required / Extra Credit Visits
• Are you requiring a student to make an appointment with the Writing Center? Will
students receive extra credit for making an appointment?
• Whether it is required or for extra credit, the KSU Writing Center is equipped to
work with faculty.
• Instructors can email beforehand to inform us of the visit, but the student must inform their writing coach before, during, or immediately after the appointment.
The student must then provide the email address of their instructor.
• The writing coach will then email the instructor with the Coach's Review, which
confirms attendance, details focus(es), and summarizes progress. The Coach's Review
should be received within 24 hours of the appointment.
STUDENTS AND FACULTY: If you are missing the Coach's Review or need it to be resent, please contact the
Writing Center.
Syllabus and University Material Workshop
• The KSU Writing Center is planning to provide a faculty- and staff-exclusive workshop.
All faculty and staff are welcome!
• The workshop will focus on the creation of syllabi and class material, revision
for student-focused writing, and review of any other university materials.
• The workshop will begin with a short introductory presentation on student-focused
writing and revision, which will be followed by the peer-review workshop.
• Faculty and staff will be encouraged to: speak freely, be open to sharing their
work for cooperative revision, and focus their writing on increasing student accessibility
(where appropriate).
Suggestions?
• If you have any suggestions for our resources and/or presentations, please let us know.
