I’m going on a study leave in January 2019. The focus of my leave is to understand the effect of assigning writing tutors to particular courses and how this affects classroom learning, workloads for faculty members, and pedagogy. In partnership with faculty members, we’ve accessed grants to attach tutors to particular undergraduate classes, so this research will be a follow up to that grant money. I’ll be asking questions like, “What can we do better in this initiative?” and looking at faculty perceptions of the writing support.
