An Introduction to WAC Resources for TeachersDon't ignore your own expertise as a reader in your discipline. Even if you aren't comfortable using grammatical or rhetorical jargon to explain a problem with a paper to a student, your experience reading and writing in your field will alert you to problems to simply highlight for students. In addition to the information presented in this guide, you can also obtain information from you campus writing center or writing program. At Colorado State University, we have staff available through the Writing Center who can help you integrate writing into your classes. Please call the Writing Center (970 491 xxxx) and ask for the Director or call the Department of English (970 491 6428) and ask for the Director of Composition. Finally, other guides in the Writing Center may be helpful. Please check our site map, and let us know if you have questions or suggestions for additional materials you would like to see us add to this or other Writing Center guides.
