Abstract

In this paper, we extend our roundtable session from the 2019 Canadian Writing Centre Association Conference in Vancouver, which ignited dialogue about how writing centre practitioners and educational developers can help faculty review and strengthen their approaches to providing feedback on graduate student theses and dissertations. We discuss how we designed and delivered an instructional development workshop for faculty at our university to strengthen their approaches to supporting graduate student thesis and dissertation writers. In doing so, we aim to foster further dialogue about how writing centre professionals and educational developers can partner with faculty to enhance and develop their approaches to providing feedback on large-scale writing projects.
