However,the difference here is to have a structure to provide multiple formative feedbacks from theinstructor, the peers, and the student writing fellow (trained by the writing center) to helpstudents reflect on their weaknesses in writing through multiple interactions and assessment overa period of a semester. Furthermore, this vigorous writing-to-learn process is repeated in twosubsequent courses to ensure students proficiency in the process. In this format, the benefits ofusing writing-to-learn methodology have been expressed in many ways in the literature, such asimproved student writing, increased student learning and engagement, student-facultyinteraction, collaborative learning, and critical thinking to name
