Please keep in mind that the following are guidelines,
not requirements: Students in WI courses usually write 1 major research
paper or a series of 3-5 smaller writing projects;Writing-Intensive Course Guidelines
The Writing Intensive Subcommittee is committed to honoring
each discipline's approaches to the Writing Intensive Course
Outcomes. We are hesitant to list additional sets of criteria
other than the outcomes, as WI courses will look very different
for each major. However, there have been a lot of questions
about what a WI course might look like, and we offer these
general parameters in the spirit of helping faculty see how
existing courses or new courses might become WI.
• These research projects are usually "staged;" student work
is supported through intermediate steps with opportunities for feedback and revision;
• Writing projects usually count for 30-60% of a student's final grade.
