Counselling
In your role as a teacher, we can advise you on individual matters, such as:
- Teaching academic writing in courses
- Using appropriate writing methods and exercises
-
Providing students with feedback on their texts
-
Combining writing and subject-related learning
-
Using writing as an activating method and increasing the intensity of learning in teaching
-
Supporting possibilities through tutors of the Writing Centre in courses
We will be happy to support you in developing tasks and evaluation guidelines for seminar essays and graduation theses or to provide you with qualified feedback on your tasks, evaluation guidelines and handouts for scientific writing.
Continuing Education

- Supporting students in writing, e.g. conveying writing skills in teaching; explaining expectations of academic writing; giving feedback on student texts; evaluating and grading seminar papers and theses
- Developing writing tasks for teaching, e.g. preparing early for writing requirements in courses; promoting technical leaning through writing and the acquisition of disciplinary methods of thinking and working; applying writing as a didactic tool in courses

Viele Studierende kennen die Angebote des Schreibzentrums noch nicht und eine Schreibberatung in Anspruch zu nehmen stellt oftmals eine Hürde dar. Ein Verweis an die Schreibberatung kann Sie als Lehrende entlasten, denn dort erhalten Studierende Rückmeldung zu ihren Texten und ihren Schreibstrategien. Die Schreibtutorinnen und Schreibtutoren des Schreibzentrums besuchen Sie daher gerne mit einer StippVisite bzw. der StippVisite online (Link zu weiteren Informationen zur StippVisite online) in Ihrer Lehrveranstaltung, um sich und die Angebote persönlich vorzustellen:
- Kurzbesuch in Ihrer Lehrveranstaltung (je nach Vereinbarung ca. 5 bis 10 Minuten)
- Vorstellung der Angebote des SZD, insbesondere der Schreibberatung, durch studentische Schreibtutor/innen
Ein erweitertes Angebot ist die StippVisite PLUS (je nach Vereinbarung ca. 30 bis 90 Minuten), bei der nach Absprache mit Ihnen zusätzlich eine interaktive Methodenübung oder ein Mini-Workshop in Ihrer Lehrveranstaltung durchgeführt wird.
Wenn Sie das Angebot nutzen möchten, schreiben Sie bitte zwei Terminvorschläge per E-Mail an schreibzentrum@mailbox.tu-dresden.de. Nach Rücksprache mit Ihnen vereinbaren wir dann einen Termin. Bei weiteren Nachfragen wenden Sie sich gerne an den Schreibtutor Kiron Franzki (E-Mail an kiron.franzki@mailbox.tu-dresden.de).

Long Night Against Procrastination
Every year on the 1st Thursday in March numerous writers get together to work on their writing project at the Long Night Against Procrastination (“Lange Nacht des Schreibens”, LNDS). Teachers can get inspiration and impulses for the support of students according academic/ scientific writing or use the time to write on own writing projects.
