MOST RECENT Official course description from the Academic Catalog. If this is a topics course, please list description for this specific topic:

Please note:

A. The committee understands that some courses may still be in development. Prompts that ask for examples of assignments seek information about the spirit of what students will do and instructors are not bound to the specific details (e.g. writing prompts) provided.

B. The committee includes faculty from a variety of disciplines. Please remember to briefly explain disciplinary terms, contexts, and/or texts to allow all the members of the committee to best understand how your responses address the question.

C. As you are answering these questions, please keep in mind that students will need to produce work to assess their fulfillment of the related learning outcomes if applicable.

Go to the Integrations Curriculum - Faculty Resources course to review resources, such as:

Teaching Guidelines,
Reflection Prompts and Rubrics, and
Sample Assignments & Activities.

1. Please describe how students will learn proficiency in both writing skills and the writing process throughout the course (by describing content, assignments/activities, and/or pedagogy). Please also describe how you will incorporate the process of revision.

2. Provide a description and example of an assignment(s) in which students will demonstrate the elements of the learning goal (consideration of the context and audience for their writing, use compelling content to clearly support ideas, consistently organize their arguments using relevant evidence, learn and demonstrate an ability to write with language that is clear and straightforward, with few errors). Please describe how you will meet each part of the learning goal, whether it is via one assignment or multiple.

3. Please describe how students will demonstrate consideration for the purpose of their writing. (Note: You might describe the writing style/process within your discipline/field of study here).

4. Students are expected to individually write a minimum of 2000-2500 words (8-10 pages) of original content in total throughout the semester. Please describe how students will meet this requirement.
