B. Rationale

Write a memo to the Director of the University Writing Programs explaining how your course incorporates

each of the three Writing Intensive Guidelines listed below. Memos are often 1-2 pages in length. For

assistance, please consult

WI Guideline 1. Students in the course should do substantial writing that enhances learning and

•

demonstrates knowledge of the subject or the discipline. Writing should be an integral part of the

course and should account for a significant part (approximately 50 percent or more) of the final

grade.

WI Guideline 2. Writing should be assigned in such a manner as to require students to write

•

regularly throughout the course. Major assignments should integrate the process of writing

(prewriting, drafting, revision, editing). Students should be able to receive constructive feedback of

some kind (peer response, workshop, Writing Center, professor, TA, etc.) during the

drafting/revising process to help improve their writing.

WI Guideline 3. The course should include both formal (graded) and informal (heuristic) writing.

•

There should be papers written outside of class which are handed in for formal evaluation as well as

informal assignments designed to promote learning, such as invention activities, in-class essays,

reaction papers, journals, reading summaries, or other appropriate exercises.

C. Supporting documents

Attach to your memo any supporting documents that demonstrate how writing is featured in your course.

Such supporting documents should include a syllabus. Additional documents may include writing

assignments.

D. Send

Send your completed packet (this form, your memo, and any supporting documents) to the following address:

Director, University Writing Programs

7 Hamilton Smith Hall

University of New Hampshire

Durham, NH 03824
