Writing Studio is a one-hour elective that students may take to workshop writing projects assigned in classes across campus. Students receive one-on-one feedback on their writing in a small-group, workshop context. Class size is typically limited to 8-10 students. Writing Studio provides an intensive investigation into the skills and objectives that make college composition effective. In a collaborative environment, students interpret assignments, generate and research ideas, invent topics, and write, evaluate, revise, and edit drafts. Studio teaches these activities as “recursive” in that writers engage and re-engage in them as one moves through the planning, drafting, and revising of assignments. In any given Studio session, students might closely read an assignment description and plan how to begin a project, rhetorically analyze the purpose and audience of a given writing project, workshop drafts at any stage of the writing process, and actively reflect over writing choices. Students learn to ask critical questions about their own writings, and the class engages in a wider, more nuanced conversation about academic conventions. May be taken for credit four semesters.
