Altering entrenched constructs of writing-as-product and writing-as-discrete-skill-set, WAC activities can introduce faculty and graduate TAsto best practices from Writing Studies, helping them think through basic tenets of “good” writingpedagogy (i.e., writing-as-process and writing-as-knowledge-making, effective and efficientinstructor and peer response practices, and more clearly elaborated assignment design).WAC has traditionally employed workshop models to convey its principles to faculty acrossdisciplines.

incorporating communication into technical coursesmay be mitigated by the use of peer review; by setting students up in peer review sessions, they canread and comment on the work of others as a means to improving their own communication skills.Many of us who have employed peer review have seen the benefits firsthand.1-5 The process of readingand reviewing the written documents of other students—submitting their own documents to beassessed by other students, reviewing documents that try to fulfill the same assignment they havewritten—has a measurable impact on the student’s own writing. Studies of peer reviewing strategiesconfirm what many of us have seen in our own classrooms. The process for peer review, with fewexceptions, remains the same. Students

VNPS on the other hand is a teaching technique thatinvolves students leaving their seats and participating in a group setting while standing at a verticalnon-permanent surface like a whiteboard to accomplish a task. An added advantage of the VNPSapproach is that it provides students the opportunity of seeing the work done by other groups,thereby gaining insights into ideas they may decide to adopt. It has been suggested that the use ofvertical non-permanent surfaces for group tasks promotes greater thinking, classroomparticipation, discussion, persistence, and knowledge mobility [12].The overarching

, students did their best to adapt to the new way of learning, but the change intheir educational experience was drastic. In particular, students lost the opportunity to engagewith peers in person and form personal connections with them. This is especially concerninggiven that, as Alexander Astin writes, “the student's peer group is the single most potent sourceof influence on growth and development during the undergraduate years" [15, p. 54][3].The existing knowledge base repeatedly validates the importance of peer support in both socialand academic systems in college. Ideally, students should have all the resources they need tocommunicate with peers, whether in a physical or virtual learning environment. However, webelieve that due to the abrupt
