Writing Across the Curriculum

Faculty Development is supporting the Writing across the Curriculum initiative through seminars and workshops, in coordination with the Director of the WAC initiative.  In the menu at right is a copy of the WAC proposal, which outlines the goals and types of courses for the WAC requirement.

Enter the Writing across the Curriculum Blackboard site to find resources on a variety of topics connected to the use of student writing in your teaching.    All of the handouts help clarify course goals or objectives through writing assignments, feedback, and grading.  They are organized into 5 categories:

• Course-Level Design
• Designing Assignments
• Informal Writing
• Peer Response
• Faculty Response/Grading
