Writing Across the Curriculum
Teaching students to write well is one of the primary
missions of the College of Arts and Sciences. Writing Intensive
courses are intended to help students learn to express themselves
formally and coherently in discursive prose. Writing is to be
regarded not simply as information to which students should be
exposed, but as a skill which requires practice. Writing Intensive
courses equate extended, intensive writing with contemplative
concentration on the subject matter: in any field, a student can
learn by writing. Writing Intensive courses are therefore offered
across the curriculum.
Instructors seeking information about how to create
a new WI course should consult current WI
Guidelines or contact Stephen Dilks, Director of Writing Across
the Curriculum at dilkss@umkc.edu.
