What are Writing Intensive courses and how do they fit in the General Education Requirements?
Although they are not part of the General Education requirements, Writing Intensive courses serve as the single most important way in which the University provides additional writing instruction and experience beyond the Communication A and Communication B requirements. Individual instructors can elect to offer any course or section as Writing Intensive in any given semester. Such courses are footnoted in the Timetable as “Writing Intensive.” Instructors interested in learning more about teaching Writing Intensive courses should contact Brad Hughes, Director of the Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum, by email (bthughes@wisc.edu) or by telephone at 3-3823.
