Guidelines for Writing-Intensive Courses

All courses identified as writing-intensive must have the following characteristics:

Writing must be an integral part of the overall course design, enabling students to accomplish the work of the course.
Identifies the kinds of writing consistent with the goals of the course.
Provides students with several opportunities to present their ideas in written terms.
Considers students' success in writing in giving grades.
Provides students with clear and consistent criteria by which their grades are given.
Provides students with timely commentary to help them improve their ability to meet these criteria.
Any end-of-semester survey should include an evaluation of the writing-intensive aspect of the course.

Mechanism of submission for writing-intensive courses: Use standard course change form if it is a pre-existing course or an add form if it is a new course. On a separate sheet of paper, address each of the guidelines listed above. Courses should be approved at the Department and School level before being submitted to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee.
