Writing Intensive Course Redesigned for Online

The course is writing intensive (WI), and thus is in high demand. The course has long wait lists for every section, every semester, as students must meet their WI requirement in order to graduate. Offering it online during Intersessions (Winter/Summer) and during the regular semester will increase availability not only to wait-listed students but to those who could not enroll because of scheduling conflicts. In addition, we believe that a redesign will improve student writing quality. Hence, the redesign will incorporate peer grading and opportunities for feedback and revision of writing.
