What We Wanted to Achieve UNF Writing Program initiatives seek to prepare students for workplace, real-world writing; provide cost effective approaches to teaching writing; use self-directed and self-paced approaches to engage students in writing courses; engage departments and programs across the university in conversations and instruction that address student writing from first year to last; and build a Writing Center connected to the teaching and research mission of the Writing Program.
3
What We Have Achieved Replaced our literature-based General Education writing courses with discipline specific writing courses. Developed leading edge assessment rubrics, as characterized by our external reviewer and writing program scholar. Designed and carried out a large-scale assessment of student writing in Coggin College of Business. Collaborating with the College of Education to embed writing in required courses in their ASL/Deaf Studies program. Established a Writing Center to serve the entire university community.

What the Course Achieved The course is highly cost effective with one instructor and two GTAs replacing six instructors. The instructor who piloted this course received extremely high student ratings ( 4.51 out of 5.0 on “overall rating of instructor”) from students whose average course grade was 2.27.

Challenges for UNF Writing Cultural/Economic : Students can’t write. Disciplinary : What do we mean when we say “students can’t write”? Institutional : Increasing pressure to offer Distance Learning courses and decreasing enrollments due to transfer credit from high school. Also the need to address accreditation concerns.

Writing Program – As It Stands Locally developed writing curriculum and assessment Directed Self-Placement exam Outreach to other disciplines New Writing Center Distance Learning pilot: ENC 1101
