Assessment of the WAC @ City Program

Faculty perspectives on WAC at City:
Satisfaction with specific WAC enrichments

During the course of their collaboration, faculty partners and CCNY Writing Fellows engaged in a number of WAC oriented activities. For example, some professors worked with the Writing Fellow to integrate writing into a course syllabus, while others incorporated informal writing, and peer review into their classroom activities.

Table 3 shows a list of these activities and the number of faculty who participated in each.
