Writing instruction and assignments are integral to the class’s learning objectives, and the instructor (and/or the teaching assistant assigned to the course) will be closely involved in supporting students as writers.
More specifically, writing-intensive classes:
• involve students in informal writing assignments that promote course learning;
• stage and sequence assignments to encourage writing as a process of creating and communicating knowledge;
• maximize opportunities for guidance, feedback, and revision;
• teach the writing conventions that are inseparable from modes of inquiry in a discipline; and
• make writing a substantive component of the overall course grade to underscore the value of writing to the course, the discipline, and student learning. | | Prerequisite: | [(ENGL 1101 or ENGL 1101E or ENGL 1101S) and (BIOL 1103 or BIOL 1103E or BIOL 2103H or BIOL 2103S or BIOL 1104 or BIOL 2104H or BIOL 1107 or BIOL 1107E or BIOL 2107H or ECOL 1000 or ECOL 1000E or ECOL 1000H)] or permission of department | Semester Course
