UMKC Writing Studio
Faculty Resources

 

The Writing Studio provides a variety of services to assist your student writers, including peer tutoring, workshops, and the Writer's Hotline.

 

Peer Tutoring

As a writer yourself, you already know the benefits of peer review and naturally include peer review in your writing process. The Writing Studio can help your students develop the same habits. Generally, we schedule students for 50-minute, one-to-one consultations and we are happy to work with students at all stages of the writing process.

You can help the Writing Studio better work with your students by encouraging them to visit the Writing Studio (preferably with the syllabus and/or any pertinent assignment sheets). One way to do this is to include a blurb out the Writing Studio in your syllabus (download example). Often, faculty also request an brief Intro to the Writing Studio workshop, during which a member of the Writing Studio staff visits the class and informs students about our services. You can also suggest that students utilize the resources available on our website.
