The Writing Colleagues Program has been quite successful in changing that. I believe that getting students into the program early would be very good. I would endorse that. I have had writing colleagues in some of my courses for about three years now. The Writing Colleagues Program is sensitive to various formats of writing.
Chemists report differently about their findings in comparison with, say, a philosopher.
And although there are some universal features of good writing, like a certain degree of logical thinking, even those features are practiced in different ways across the divisions. So it's good not to hear only from a philosopher, but also from a chemist. I have had Writing Colleagues for the past three years in my bi-disciplinary courses. I was attracted to the program for several reasons. Here are my goals, hopes, and aspirations when I began my participation in this project.
