Supporting Faculty Initiatives
Thoroughly integrated with the Writing Program's Writing Center and the Writing Assessment Program, the Writing in the Disciplines (WID) Program:
-
coordinates the efforts of faculty from across the disciplines in providing opportunities for learning through writing
-
hosts faculty development workshops throughout the academic year
Course Requirements
The
M-Course Form details the course requirements for
Writing in the Major [M] status.
Coordinating Faculty Efforts Involving M-Courses
Under the auspices of the All-University Writing Committee, the WID Program facilitates the development and review of Writing in the Major [M] courses. By making writing assignments central to the work of the course and emphasizing revision processes, an M-Course helps students explore both the knowledge of a particular discipline and the discourse conventions used within the discipline to create and share that knowledge.
Faculty Development Workshops
The WID Program hosts faculty development workshops throughout the academic year, providing a conduit for an ongoing exchange of ideas about the teaching of writing among faculty and writing instruction experts from all three units of the WSU Writing Program. In addition, individual faculty consultation sessions regarding assigning and evaluating writing are available.
