Reading and Writing Excellence Program (RWE) pairs a student with an expert writing instructor for support in developing active reading, critical thinking and reflective writing skills. This four-week program helps students understand and meet university-level expectations in a warm, supportive and collegial environment. In RWE, students read course materials for 40 minutes and write for 20 minutes every day and receive personalized feedback from CTL writing instructors.
If students complete at least 25 critical thinking journals, we can recommend they receive 2% bonus marks in a chosen collaborating course. If they write 13-24 critical thinking journals, they will be recommended for a 1% bonus mark.
