Writing Fellows Program
The Writing Fellows Program embeds trained Writing Center tutors in your course, in order to provide individualized writing assistance to each student on select assignments throughout the semester.

We welcome applications from any faculty who have multiple writing assignments in their
undergraduate course.Generally, we will assign two fellows to a class of 20 students. (Please keep in mind that availability is limited.)

Please complete the brief application below to express your interest and tell us a
little about your class. Contact us at writadmin@umd.edu if you have any questions.

with the instructor to clarify expectations

the week the final draft is due
● communicate with the instructor to clarify details and expectations and to provide feedback
 about student progress
Faculty Responsibilities
● Faculty would require at least two writing assignments, preferably spaced out by several weeks
● Require drafts two weeks before the final version is turned in
● Invite fellows to attend classes when assignments are discussed
● Introduce fellows during the first week of the semester
