| Abstract: | In this paper, research on a pilot study for implementing a Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program in the College of Business (CoB) at a California Public University is discussed. Data analysis focused on faculty and writing (here as: w-g.) assistant satisfaction using interviews, and on student learning as measured by evaluation of progressive w-g. assignments. Included are: 1. assumptions on which the pilot was based and its goals, 2. overview of how the program was structured and implemented, 3. outcomes of the pilot program, and 4. recommendations for future programs. Results suggest both faculty and student participants to be satisfied with the pilot program implementation and student w-g. improvement. |
