Learning
Objectives: Across the Curriculum Goals
The Writing Across the
Curriculum (WAC) Program helps you further develop the skills learned in ENG
101 and ENG 102 by incorporating writing into the work of other courses. The
program’s goals are:
-
To demonstrate the ways in which writing
is part of all disciplines, essential to the learning and conveying of
knowledge in all fields.
-
To encourage you to use writing as a
learning tool to explore and structure ideas, to articulate thoughts and
questions, and to discover what you know and do not know -- to use
writing as a tool of discovery, self-discipline, and thought.
-
To improve your writing proficiency–your
ability to develop ideas and transmit information for an appropriate
audience in an organized, coherent fashion while writing with
appropriate style and correct grammar, usage, punctuation, and spelling.

of WAC consists of ENG 101, ENG 102, and four Writing Intensive courses. You
