IF YOU ARE TIRED OF

. poorly edited papers
. low involvement in discussion
. late papers
. heavy paperload at the semester's end
. lack of original or analytical thinking on your students' papers

THEN . . . . CONSIDER WAC

From coast to coast, professors in every kind of institution have turned to WAC to solve some of these problems. WAC faculty think about how to use writing to create a richer understanding of course materials, more dynamic discussion, and more complex thinking.

What WAC Can Do for You

WAC helps professors to change the process of how and when students write their assignments. What professors can do ranges from sequencing assignments differently across a semester to asking students to write informally about concepts and topics in class.

At City College, there are four ways to participate in WAC:

WAC helps professors to create more dynamic, interactive classrooms. It helps them to create more interesting assignments that they enjoy grading. We invite you to browse through this website to see examples of innovative approaches to teaching and learning that WAC promotes.
