Resources for Instructors
Email writing.center@valpo.edu to request a visit with a Writing Center consultant in your classroom or in the Writing Center. Please give us at least two week’s advance notice, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. If we cannot offer the requested service during your preferred times, we will contact you to explore other options. We look forward to working with your students!
Submitting Student Writing Samples
The Writing Center appreciates faculty willing to share samples of student writing. Importantly, the name of the student is removed and the paper becomes anonymous. By reviewing samples of student writing, our Writing Consultants better understand papers of different studies of discipline and can learn new terminology and styles of writing, better serving the Valparaiso University community.
