15 pages is the final product. The minimum amount of writing in a WI course should be 30 pages. Students are coming out of Columbia College Chicago who cannot write. We need a better definition of Writing Intensive. We should go back to B. Definition of a Writing Intensive course and define WI as outcomes .
Students are to learn to write within the context of their discipline.
I would hope that each department is allowed to set and monitor its own standards. I hope the College will allow this. Students should be encouraged to take their WI courses in their own departments. The Writing Intensive Study Group needs to meet again. That is not necessary and would be premature.
