Goal: Students will learn and utilize the language of the discipline, use writing-to-learn techniques to develop ideas and learn content, and understand the audience for, and parameters of, writing done within the student’s specific major; departments which decide their students need a writing intensive course specific to the major should be allowed to develop such a course.
Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking courses identified as writing intensive, students will:
- Use writing to learn course content, understand the ideas and the language of a discipline, and discover their own ideas relative to the content of the course
- Compose texts within the discipline/area of study of the course, through drafting, revising, and completing a finished product (applying appropriate style manuals), in order to comprehend more fully the unique nature of the knowledge within that discipline as well as potentially contribute to it.
- Develop critical thinking skills unique to the discipline and the subject matter of the course.
Students will meet this requirement by taking a course in their respective major which meets the criteria for a writing intensive course. Each writing intensive course must have in place a methodology by which students can draft and revise papers with the help and advice of both the professor and classmates.
Each course meeting this goal includes the following student learning outcomes:
