STL 1025LARC Writing Assistant (LWA) I1
LARC Writing Assistants will work with students one-on-one during set office hours (in person and on Zoom): LWAs will assist first-year residential-program students (1Ls) with LARC-related course work, in accordance with any limitations placed on their review by the assigning professor. LWAs will assist 1Ls in identifying skill-based problems with their writing and then work with the students to develop a plan to address those problems. LWAs are not editors and will never give feedback on the substance of an assignment. LARC Writing Assistants will hold bi-weekly supplemental sessions to supplement the lessons covered in LARC I and II: LWAs will each plan and host one supplemental review session over the lunch hour each semester on a topic on by the LWAs and LARC professors (e.g., the Bluebook, Reading and Briefing a Case, or Comma Rules). The LARC professors and LWAs will work together to set the schedule for these sessions before the semester begins. LARC Writing Assistants will draft and get feedback on objective and persuasive writing assignments: LWAs will have the opportunity to work together and draft sample answers for various 1L LARC assignments. After submitting a draft, the LWAs will receive feedback from the LARC professors so that they can continue to build their legal analysis, research, and writing skills. In addition, the LWAs will help prepare materials related to the spring LARC II problem and, relatedly, to the Summit Cup Motion Argument Competition. LARC Writing Assistants will get training on effective and inclusive teaching and learning strategies.
