Writing Enriched Courses
Each semester, the WCC works with faculty to identify potential undergraduate “writing-enriched” (WE) courses. These courses include significant writing using the discourse of its discipline.
The WCC provides Writing Fellows to WE courses. Writing Fellows are course-embedded writing and communication consultants who assist students with their writing assignments for their particular course.
- Multiple Discipline-Specific Writing Assignments—Graded writing assignments will demonstrate discipline-specific writing and occur throughout the course of the semester.
- Revision—Writing assignments will go through the revision process. Our writing fellows should provide formative feedback during the process.
- Rubrics—Writing assignments will be evaluated based on well-defined rubrics.
- Syllabus—Course syllabi will encourage students to work with writing fellows at the WCC.
- Faculty Support—Faculty members teaching writing-enriched courses across the curriculum will receive support and pedagogical assistance from WCC staff members, including writing fellows.
- Assessment—The WCC and QEP Committee will work together to assess various facets of the writing enriched initiative, including student writings. Assessment plans will be outlined in the assessment section.
