At the end of each workshop, the facilitator will share a brief survey that asks you reflect on what you learned. This reflection doubles as proof of attendance, and it helps you demonstrate to your professor that you were actively engaged in the lesson.
Club collaborations
We love partnering with student groups! To propose an event, email [email protected]. We work with clubs in a variety of ways:
- Your club can sponsor workshops we’re already offering and encourage members to attend
- You can invite us to lead any of the lessons we make available to faculty for in-class workshops
- You can can invite individual writers and teachers on our staff to attend a roundtable or speak at your event
- If you reach out a few months in advance, we can often develop new, more informal workshops in collaboration with student groups
