The Writing Specialist may be assigned to an OWL associated with undergraduate first-year English courses or an intensive writing course associated with the graduate program in Organizational Communications.

  • Provide praise, feedback, and strategies for improvement that support revision and editing of student work.
  • Assign a grade of Unsatisfactory (U) or Satisfactory (S) to participating students at the conclusion of each term.
  • Collaborate and communicate with faculty teaching the courses that the OWL laboratories accompany.
  • Maintain technological proficiency in Northeastern University's instructional platforms, including Canvas and OWL laboratory environments.
