Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can institutions develop and sustain writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs? This volume, written for faculty and administrators alike, answers that question. Chapters written by some of the foremost WAC directors and consultants in the country discuss how to get started, how to run WAC workshops, what role administrators can play, and how WAC can be integrated into the university curriculum. Also, there are pertinent chapters on developing permanent institutional support for WAC. Writing Across the Curriculum gives details about resources successful WAC programs need - administrators, coordinators, faculty who participate in workshops and seminars, support systems such as peer tutoring or writing centers, and institution-specific curricular models. The book assumes that WAC directors are learners as well as facilitators of learning, and asserts that they expand the definition of "good" writing through discussion with members of other disciplines.
