Facilitated by Christina Halliday and John Hannah, Student Learning Support, Ryerson University One of the most important tasks for a postsecondary student is to develop mastery of writing within their discipline. For some students, this learning process unfolds quite smoothly. For others, the task of writing at the university level can present an enormous stumbling block that puts the student at risk of failure and diminished self-confidence. In this workshop, we will explore some of the common challenges to student writers, aspects of the writing process, and the relationship of writing to disciplinary content learning and critical thinking skills.
