Faculty Resources

The Center for Writing and Communication (CWC) provides a variety of services that can be beneficial for your students. View our Faculty Outreach Flyer that explains how we can help you help your students. Feel free to use this resource as you wish.

Confirmation of Student Appointments

If you are requiring your students to attend appointments at the CWC, or if you are offering them extra credit, you can verify that they have completed an appointment using your Slate portal:

Class Visits, Class Tours, & Faculty Appointments for Tutoring

CWC tutors can visit your classes to give a 5-10 minute talk about the ways students can use CWC services to help them improve their writing. Also, your class can visit the CWC for a tour and explanation of available services. Call 450-5123 or make an appointment through Slate to set up a time.

In addition, our tutors regularly work with faculty on dissertation projects, books and book chapters, and other projects. Feel free to make an appointment with one of our tutors for your own writing/speaking projects.

Sample Syllabus Language
We’d love for you to tell your students about the CWC! Below is a sample paragraph you can add to your syllabus:
The Center for Writing & Communication (CWC) provides free, individualized support to all UCA students–undergraduate and graduate–on any writing or oral communication
project. Students can receive assistance with academic papers, speeches, slide decks, videos, infographics, and other communication projects at any stage of development. The CWC
offers 30-minute appointments in person, via video tutoring, or through email tutoring. For more information or to make an appointment, visit https://uca.edu/cwc/. Students interested in
working as tutors at the CWC can learn more about the application process at https://uca.edu/cwc/job-opportunities/.
Virtual Workshops
We now have virtual video workshops available over Chicago, MLA, and APA documentation styles. You can find these on our YouTube Channel.
Assignment Specific Tutoring
If you email a copy of the assignment sheet or rubric that you are using for the semester to cwc@uca.edu, we will look over it and keep it to reference when students come in for sessions.
You can also email us to set up a time to come and explain your assignment and what you really want tutors to focus on during one of our weekly staff meetings.
