Writing Across the Curriculum
The Writing Fellows of the Brooklyn College Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program have developed a variety of tools and strategies for faculty and students to employ writing as a tool to develop writing skills, and to improve critical and creative thinking. We welcome you to learn about our program, attend our listed events, review the resources available here, and reach out to explore opportunities for collaboration.
Faculty
If you are a full- or part-time member of the Brooklyn College faculty, you can contact us if you are interested in a one-on-one appointment with a Writing Fellow for help developing syllabi or individual writing assignments. The WAC program also maintains a database of instructor resources which includes a variety of mini-lessons on writing-related issues that you can use in your classroom. Additional informational resources to help you further investigate how you use writing in your classes include a Digital Writing Toolkit, which provides ideas for moving writing assignments online, and Writing Benchmarks, which helps map the development of a student's writing over the course of their undergraduate college career. Check out our WAC Resources page for more information. Finally, WAC fellows host workshops throughout the fall and winter academic semesters on a variety of topics related to writing pedagogy. Check out the WAC calendar for more details.
Students
If you are a Brooklyn College student, we have a list of on-campus resources to help you improve your writing and address other academic needs, including our WAC Toolkit. To help you chart your development as a writer, make sure to investigate our Writing Benchmarks, which can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and locate areas to develop. Review the Student Resources tab on our WAC Resources page for more information.
