How will joining the CSWC benefit our first-year writing program?
CWC results will provide first-year writing programs with an overview of the writing students are doing in all their first-year courses. Although students are asked to respond concerning their total experience during the year, first-year writing programs can make some inferences about what’s happening in the programs’ writing courses. For example, if students say that they rarely or never brainstorm, the program may infer that its own instructors are not succeeding in teaching students to use this process.
