Writing Across The Curriculum Program

UMB跨课程写作(WAC)计划的主要任务是增加有效的存在, 跨学科的包容性写作指导,并支持整个大学的写作相关工作的联系和一致性. We offer faculty-to-faculty development workshops, 资源, 和咨询,以帮助个别教师(“WAC教员研究员”)整合或改善自己课堂上的写作教学. 我们还为各部门提供专家指导和跨学科衔接点, 项目, 和课程, as well as host events to promote and celebrate writing and writing education.

Our Principles

  • Writing to Learn: Writing is a valuable method of learning for all students, both in specific courses and over an academic career.
  • Learning to Write: Student writers develop best when given recurring, sustained opportunities to write in a variety of genres, 学科, 和背景.
  • 写作教学:所有学科的教师都可以在促进和指导学生写作方面发挥作用.
  • 写作与公平:写作指导和评估在制定和废除压迫制度方面发挥着关键作用.
  • 跨学科联系:来自不同学科的教师拥有并可以分享学科写作知识和实践.
