February 2026
As the Spring 2026 term gets underway, Writing in Psychology is here to support you!
In our October faculty meeting we discussed our WEC participation and recent ratings of Psychology student writing. Following the meeting, faculty were surveyed to find out what supports for student writing would be most valuable.
Online Resources
Here some examples of available online resources you can share with your students:
- Writing Abilities Important in Psychology (chosen by our faculty)
- Writing Tips by Top Psychology UG Student Writers
- Career Writing Demands (described by Psychology affiliates)
More can be found on this website under Instructor Resources.
Grade Norming for TAs
Our WEC support, Jessa Wood, created this guide for holding a grade norming session with your TAs. If you would like in-person support, Jessa ([email protected]) would be happy to work with you to plan and host a norming session.
Instructional Examples
Sample lessons/activities and assignments can be found on this website under Instructor Resources
