Take this course and learn how to become a better writer and how to help others improve their writing. UNIV 320 is a seminar/workshop based around such questions as, Is writing well a talent or can it be learned? What is good writing? How can technology, even popular activities such as video games, help improve literacy? These questions and others will guide our study to give you the theoretical basis to understand writing processes and to become a peer tutor (WIT) in the University Writing Program. All students interested in working as WITS must first take this course. As a WIT, you will practice what you’ve learned in this class. WITS earn $715.00 a term and help up to 20 students twice each term in a specific Writing Intensive class.

This class is open to Honors and non-Honors students. It can be taken for Honors or Elective credit and may be applied toward the Honors Recognition in Creative Writing. To register for this class, you must receive permission from Writing Program Director, Harriet Millan. Please write to Honorscollege@drexel.edu to request an application. You must be at least a third term freshman to apply.
