One of the primary learning goals on the MHC curriculum is that students will develop the ability to write confidently and effectively. To that end, many faculty across the curriculum work to help students hone their writing skills. In addition to periodic faculty development workshops, TLI is pleased to offer a series of videos and other resources to assist you in planning writing assignments for your courses.
The SAW Center at Mount Holyoke College has collected resources on teaching writing.
