Enhanced Writing Studio

Catalog description

The Enhanced Writing Studio provides writing support for students who have progressed to advanced courses in their majors. Each writing studio is designed to supplement a specific upper-level course, developed in collaboration with the faculty who teach that course. Students have the option of co-enrolling in the linked writing studio, where they will receive added discipline-specific writing instruction that builds on the work done in the core course. Writing studios are not designed to provide remedial support, but rather are enhancements to the linked major course. Students enrolled in the studio will be expected to complete longer and/or more complex written assignments, with the writing studio providing the added support and instruction needed to accomplish those tasks. Studios are workshop-driven spaces, which emphasize collaborative project-based learning, where students can develop advanced writing skills in genres and techniques unique to their chosen majors or career paths. The Enhanced Writing Studio may be repeated when linked with different upper-level courses.
