Hi Wendy,
I realize that this response may come too late for what
you are looking for, but at Western there is a biology
professor who has organized a unit of a Bio lab course
to teach writing. He is currently in charge of
teaching it, but did not know how to
structure/implement it, so he came to writing centre
for that information. We then collaborated on the
unit, with him providing the subject matter and the
writing centre providing the theory, etc.
Sincerely,
Julie-Ann Stodolny
