Upcoming Events

Fall 2024

Prewriting: Getting started with academic writing can be daunting. Learn tips from Dr. Joe Essid, Director of Writing at the Weinstein Learning Center. The interactive workshop will include strategies for finding focus, deciphering an assignment prompt, and identifying what an audience wants. Feel free to bring a project you are working on currently! Snacks and coffee will be provided.

Generative AI Workshop:
Join Dr. Joe Essid, Director of Writing at the Weinstein Learning Center, for an interactive workshop about ethical and pedagogically productive uses of Generative AI in the writing process.

We will use a couple of Large Language Models as well as Grammarly to practice prompt engineering, assess needed revisions in our drafts, and more. Please bring a laptop, as well as a piece of writing to share with the group; it should not be something you will submit for a grade.
