For Faculty

Writing is central to the Bard curriculum; we encourage faculty from all programs to incorporate the teaching of writing into their courses.

Services We Provide

To request any of these services contact Jim Keller at [email protected], or us at the Learning Commons at [email protected].

Class Visits
Class visits from a writing fellow, our BLC Administrative Associates, or Director Jim Keller are available by faculty request. Past visits have addressed such student concerns as:
- Getting Started Drafting an Essay
- Radical Revision
- Public Speaking and Presentations
- Key Components of College Writing
Workshop visits can also be designed by the instructor in collaboration with tutors!

Writing Fellows Program

BLC's Writing Fellows are tutors who read the first substantial drafts of student papers and suggest revisions for every paper assigned in the class that they tutor. The purpose of this program, in which peer tutors are dedicated to specific courses, is to facilitate the oft-repeated desire by professors to get better essays from students, while preparing the students to write and revise stronger.
While teachers often talk about the writing process in freshman academic writing courses, research reveals the formidable advantages to exploring the writing process in all disciplines!
