Come prepared to teach a non-academic skill to two people in 5 minutes or less (no writing skills, and no origami, please). Please make your teaching as interactive as possible.

Please make copies of your material; all submissions become property of the Writing Fellows.

Participation Requirements
Honrs 300R, Writing and Pedagogy, is required for all first-semester Writing Fellows. It is a three-hour course taught Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:35–2:50. This course fulfills the Advanced Writing requirement and can also be used to fulfill Arts and Letters or as an English elective.

We require at least a two-semester commitment. Writing Fellows typically work sixty hours each semester and receive $7.75/hr the first semester, with increases each semester following. You can work up to twenty hours per week at another job and still be a Writing Fellow.
