Memorandum from the College Writing Centres: on Support for Student Writing Assignments in the Faculty of Arts and Science
as addressed to the faculty in Arts and Science
Please use the links described below in your assignments and Blackboard
pages. Your encouragement will help students use the wide range of resources
for writing support made available in Arts and Science. If you would like a
writing centre instructor to visit your class to briefly talk about using
writing centres, please let me know and I will do my best to arrange this
for you.
1. Students can find information about college writing centres at this web site . The
teaching approach of the college writing centres is described at this web site.
2. The start page for the website "Writing at the University of Toronto"
is found here. You can use the dropdown index or the search
function to find files relevant to your course. Students benefit from your
recommendation of specific material. More than 60 Advice files on all aspects of academic writing are
available from www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice. Printable PDF versions are
listed at this website .

and other advice on documentation format and methods of integrating sources;
these are listed in the section at this website
4. Please refer students to the Writing Plus workshop series, described at this website. We also attach the flyer for
this series.
5. Information about the English Language Learning program (ELL) is

particularly want to recommend these activities: 1)the Communication Cafe,
which meets weekly at four different times and locations for the first five
weeks of each term for practice with oral skills like class discussion and
presentations;and 2)Reading eWriting, an online program that helps students
engage course readings more effectively. You can also find further
instructional advice files for students and for classroom instruction on
