High-Impact Writing Practices [AM session]

Effective written communication skills help students succeed in college and beyond. AAC&U identifies writing-intensive courses as a high-impact educational practice that has been widely tested and shown to support college students from diverse backgrounds. These courses, which may occur at any level from first-year seminars to senior projects, encourage students "to produce and revise various forms of writing for different audiences in different disciplines." Writing often accompanies other high-impact practices such as undergraduate research, collaborative projects, ePortfolios, and capstone courses. Research indicates that the quality of students' writing experiences is more significant than the amount of writing they do. High-impact writing experiences possess these characteristics: 1) interactive components, 2) a meaning-constructing task, and 3) clear explanations of writing expectations. After an overview of writing-intensive courses at UWL, including Writing Emphasis courses and Writing-in-the-Major programs, this session will focus on how to increase and gauge the impact of writing experiences across the disciplines. Participants are invited to bring a sample writing assignment, a course syllabus, or a program plan for discussion and review.
