Teaching with Writing@CSU

The following resources are available for teachers. In addition, you can find information about our composition courses -- including transfer policies and our placement procedures -- on our composition program pages. And, to learn a bit more about using the Writing Studio for teaching, check out our "Writing Studio Quick Start Guide for Teachers."

	Teaching Guides Our teaching guides offer detailed treatments of issues ranging from planning and conducting classes to teaching with technology. More than 30 guides are available.		Become a Writing Studio Instructor Our Writing Studio class pages allow you to manage your writing classes. Our system is similar to WebCT and Blackboard, but it's based on a different instructional metaphor. Instead of quizzes and exam tools, for example, we offer the ability to view and comment on student work. As a Writing Studio instructor, you can create your own classes -- there's no need to request that a class be created. And adding materials is as easy as copying and pasting formatted text out of Word or Word Perfect.
