Writing-Integrated Teaching (WIT) Program
Learning how to write effectively is one of the most important ‘transferable skills’ you can gain from university. Many of our courses have benefitted from participation in the Writing-Integrated Teaching (WIT) initiative in A&S. In practice, this means that TAs are given extra hours specifically dedicated to helping you with producing written work. At the DSR, we tend to focus our WIT support on first- and second-year courses. RLG200H1 (‘Study of Religion’), in particular, has been designated as a WIT course, in which the instructors and TAs guide students through a series of regular writing assignments designed to build competence and confidence as writers.
English Language Learning (ELL) Program
The Faculty of Arts & Science offers English Language Learning (ELL) to support undergraduates whose first language is not English, as well as native speakers seeking to improve their English language skills. You can find more information on the program and courses available on the ELL website.
Writing Centres in Arts and Science, St. George Campus
Writing centres provide free individual and group instruction in the many different kinds of writing done by University of Toronto students. You can work individually with a trained instructor to develop your ability to plan, organize, write, and revise academic papers in any subject.
