What kinds of writing can I include? What is writing in the disciplines? Do I have to be an expert in grammar? Do writing and peer review take up too much class time?

An Introduction to WAC Reading Journal
In a discipline-specific context, teachers using a reading journal ask students to write summaries, responses, and syntheses as appropriate for the field. "Readings" might include not only assigned textbook material, but also lectures and outside reading of professional or popular articles relevant to the course material. Teachers might want to assign specific questions to be answered in entries about each reading, or they might link readings in other ways. |
