First class

ENG 5071 will serve two purposes.  It will:

•  connect students with canonical texts on writing center practice and administration;
•  and provide Writing Center GAs with support and resources to adminster the Kean University Writing Center..

A "standard" calendar & syllabus are posted under Course Documents.  During our first class we will revise these documents so that they present "practical" training and support for the administrative tasks you will undertake at the WC during the upcoming semester.  

As you read through these documents - think about what kind of information + training YOU need to do your best work at the Center.  Come to class with a prioritized list of the kind of infromation, experiential training, and feedback you want.  

Also - under the Resources link to the right is a bibliography on Writing Centers from the International Writing Centers Association.  The IWCA site has many other resources - including a forum and a listsev.  The WCenter list  used to be fairly active and was very useful when I directed the writing center at Wayne State. 

Hope your semester is off to a good start and I am looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
