Can I participate in the Writing Fellows Program with my course?

You can participate…

• if your course is in a STEM discipline,
• if you include at least one mandatory writing assignment,
• if you consider writing as an important skill,
• if you want to optimize the time-consuming review of student texts.

How do I benefit from this program?

• Reviewing and grading student texts will become more efficient.
• Writing fellows provide feedback on your text assignment from the student perspective.
• Clear contact persons for students on scientific writing.
• On request, the SchreibCenter will support you in the development of a didactically well thought-out writing assignment.
• On request, support in dealing with student writing, including didactic impulses with regard to AI tools.

How do my students benefit from this program?

• They will improve the quality of their texts (and their grades).
• They will enhance their writing skills, especially revision skills and how to prepare for larger writing projects such as the final thesis.
• Through the revision process, they get the opportunity to address their questions and insecurities in a safe, non-hierarchical setting and to learn in a peer setting.
