The single most important outcome of The Write Project is that it has promoted revision. Revision has been identified for years by composition scholars as a powerful stage of the writing process. It is often the stage at which writers discover and clarify what they want to say. The written feedback they get, hopefully, helps them do that. Students aren't the only ones who benefit.
Faculty appreciate reading papers that have been through at least one revision.
The papers are better thought out and have fewer errors. Faculty also receive feedback from the Consultants about problems with the assignments. Many faculty who have taken part in the project have discovered ways to improve their assignments, so that students better understand what is expected and thus do a better job. When we began the project, we thought of it as a service we were offering in support of writing in the disciplines. All three contribute a special kind of effort.
