Students who need help on writing problems can get help either from instructors or from staff in a writing workshop or laboratory. Writing-intensive designations are recorded and explained on student transcripts. Budget Adequate funds have been provided to support the program. This process is reasonable, is explained to faculty, and followed regularly by. program administrators. Each campus will define its own goals and conduct appropriate evaluation to see if they are being met.
Program supervisors follow the progress of students as they move through writing-intensive courses.
Orientation sessions are provided at the beginning of each semester for instructors new to writing-intensive course instruction. Faculty resource people are provided for instructors who want or need help in planning and teaching writing-intensive courses. Documentation that supported the 1987 Board action outlined the major characteristics of writing-intensive courses. While these characteristics were not formally adopted by the Board, they have guided the development of writing-intensive courses at Manoa and throughout the system. These procedures were based on the major elements of the UH Manoa Writing Program and were developed by a University-Wide Writing Committee.
