Teaching, like writing, is a recursive process that benefits from reflection and revision.

Incorporating writing into one's teaching—or building on our current approaches—can at times be a difficult, but ultimately rewarding and enriching endeavor. To offer feedback, guidance, encouragement, and ideas on a range of topics related to teaching and writing, Assistant Director for Faculty Services Matthew Pearson is available for one-on-one consultations. He is also happy to collaborate in designing departmental or college-wide workshops.
