What is the training offered for WAC instructors?
The Writing Across the Curriculum Program offers two training workshops every semester for all faculty and also special departmental workshops by request at the beginning of each semester. This workshop is usually three and half hours; during the workshop, teachers learn various techniques for incorporating writing into their classes, as well as advice on how to grade papers quickly and effectively. Teachers also receive a copy of John Bean’s Engaging Ideas: The Professor’s Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom. This book is packed with useful ideas for writing assignments and grading techniques in every discipline.
