WAC Bibliography

Welcome to the WAC Bibliography. The bibliography, developed and presented in collaboration with CompPile, was developed to support teachers across the disciplines who are interested in using writing and speaking in their courses; scholars who are interested in WAC theory and research; and program administrators, designers, and developers who have interests in the latest work in faculty outreach, program design, and assessment.

Annotation: Abstract: One of the typical challenges facing a mathematics student when writing a proof is the need to understand the interplay of details and broader concepts. I describe a multi-step proof-writing assignment used in a mid-level course for mathematics majors that is designed to help with this challenge by forcing students to incrementally increase their engagement with the various conceptual levels of the material at hand.

Annotation: Argues for interdisciplinary dialogue, particularly between poetry and mathematics, and describes the efficacy of integrating poetry exercises in a college mathematics class. Explores how poetry enhances students' discipline-specific comprehension and self-esteem in math. Posits that the study of mathematical nomenclature necessitates an aesthetic, linguistic practice: poetry. Examines what affects math performance; chronicles math students' discipline-specific writing developments; underscores the importance of poetry as an epistemological tool that yields a clearer conception of mathematical applications; and concludes that the inclusion of poetry is not incongruous to mathematics.
