The
faculty
at Illinois Wesleyan is committed to giving students a strong writing background during their years at the University. The Writing Program offers grants for course development, external speakers, workshops, and other faculty development events to support the teaching of writing on the IWU campus. Faculty also participate in a regular assessment process where anonymous, randomly selected student papers are evaluated against the broad outcomes goals for student writing at IWU.
The Writing Program has also provided some short guides and workshop materials for faculty, and is compiling a database of syllabi and assignments by faculty concerning the teaching of writing.
