teaching with writing

Checklist for Writing-Intensive Syllabi

What makes a W-I course different from any other course for which you design a syllabus? To meet the CLE requirements, you need to indicate on the syllabus how writing serves the goals of the course; show that the amount of formal writing is at least 10-15 pages apart from informal writing and in-class exams; specify the types of writing instruction that you will provide; include at least one assignment requiring revision; and explain how the course grade will be tied to the quality of student writing. In addition, any syllabus with an extensive writing component should probably provide other kinds of useful information detailed here.
