The Harvard Writing Project publishes resource guides for faculty and teaching fellows that help them integrate writing into their courses more effectively—for example, by providing ideas about effective assignment design and strategies for responding to student writing.
A list of current HWP publications for faculty and teaching fellows is provided below. Most of the publications are available for download as PDF files. If you would like to receive printed copies of any of the guides listed below, email James Herron at jherron@fas.harvard.edu.
Faculty members might also be interested in the HWP's resources for students, which include the Brief Guides to Writing in the Disciplines, other disciplinary writing guides, guides for senior thesis writers, and course-specific writing guides.
