FACULTY SUPPORT FOR WRITING
The Graduate Division realizes that one of the most important ways to support graduate student writing is through aiding the faculty who work with our graduate student populations. Our Academic, Professional, and Technical Graduate Writing Development Director is committed to working individually with faculty across campus to help design class assignments, provide rubrics and assignments samples to support curricular development, and give guest lectures and workshops. Common talks include instructing students how to publish academic articles in their respective disciplines, the conventions related to professional documents (e.g., C.V.s and research statements), and preparing students for the academic transition between undergraduate and graduate studies. He also provides faculty-only workshops on topics such as how to comment on graduate student writing. There is no boundary on the discipline, writing document, or audience as long as graduate students are, in some way, bettered. For more information on how we can assist your teaching endeavors, please contact Robby Nadler at robby.nadler@graddiv.ucsb.edu.
