Taking Writing Course Online through Technology

RWS 305W is an impacted, high-demand, required upper division writing course. The online option for this course clearly contributes to student success and timely graduation with its convenience and flexibility, both in terms of scheduling and of learning styles. Therefore, adding more online sections will provide a strategic option in filling this critical need for students. I will use assigned time to address this demand for more online sections by gathering data, refining and redesigning the online curriculum, and, after implementing the new curriculum in Spring, make a plan to convey best practices to more RWS faculty in order to ultimately add more online sections to better meet the high demand in the future and help more students graduate on time.
