Bates believes that writing and critical thinking are inseparable. That’s why we emphasize the importance of writing as a means of learning across the four years—from the First-Year Seminar to the Senior Thesis. 

Students can get feedback on their writing from trained peer and professional staff, attend workshops and other events, get online resources, and contribute their own ideas and words to our ongoing project: the Bates Glossary of Writing.
