WAC Week 2023

View the Workshops from WAC Week 2023

WAC@CSU LogoOn Monday, November 6th, the WAC Program launched a week of workshops focused on helping faculty enhance student learning, engagement, and success. WAC Week—a celebration of writing across the curriculum, one of the original high impact practices—explored how faculty can use writing assignments to deepen students understanding and ability to apply course content. Topics ranged from WAC basics, such as strategies for designing assignments and responding to student writing, to the use of multimodal assignments and generative AI to the role WAC can play in promoting inclusion and social justice. An article in CSU Source provided an overview of WAC Week and the CSU WAC Program..

All workshops were presented on Zoom and available for viewing by following the links below.
