WI Course Guidelines:

1. The recommended enrollment cap for a WI course is 18 students.
2. The course contains a significant amount of both formal and informal writing [approximately 6,000 words or 16 standard pages of text]. Discipline and course content determine the actual types of writing completed and the weight given to formal and informal writing.
3. The instructor allows for revision time, inside and/or outside of class, for the formal papers.
4. The instructor is the main respondent to student writing but may direct students to other readers when appropriate. [The readers beyond the instructor may include but are not limited to a classroom peer, a classroom peer group, a peer or peer group beyond the classroom, a tutor in the Student Success Center…].
5. The instructor explains the role writing plays in the discipline during the class as well as in the course syllabus.
