Teaching Writing - Courses & Programs

A teaching practicum for Cornell graduate students

This seminar prepares newly appointed graduate student instructors of Cornell's First-Year Writing Seminars to teach courses that help undergraduates develop the writing skills they'll need throughout their undergraduate careers.

All students take the one-credit course WRIT 7100: Teaching Writing.

As part of this course, you'll develop lesson plans you can use in your own First-Year Writing Seminar.

To register, contact the John S. Knight Institute. For more information, review the institute's pages on teaching support and WRIT 7100.

Faculty

During Cornell’s summer and winter sessions, you’ll enjoy the same great education that’s offered during our fall and spring semesters. Our special sessions, unlike those at many other universities, feature regular, full-time faculty members and provide an unparalleled opportunity to get to know these outstanding professors, many of whom are leaders in their fields.
