WAC Faculty Seminars

Overview
In general, the WAC seminars provide an opportunity for faculty from different departments to talk about a range of curricular issues surrounding writing and its place in the classroom. Two different seminars are offered:

Writing Across the Curriculum I
The WAC I seminar introduces participants to the goals of Writing Across the Curriculum, discusses and lets participants experience the writing process, and explores approaches to developing assignments appropriate for different courses.  Participants develop formal and informal assignments for use in their own classrooms, as well as strategies for responding to and evaluating student writing.
 
Writing Across the Curriculum II
The WAC II seminar is an intensive, research-based seminar in which participants explore the nature of writing in their own disciplines. The goal of the seminar is to produce curriculum for writing intensive courses as well as research papers suitable for publication or presentation at professional conferences.

Stipend
Faculty members earn a $500 stipend for each WAC seminar they complete.
