The Writing Across the Curriculum Starter Grant Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call for Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n

2016-2017 Academic Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

General Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Program invites applications for the WAC Starter Grant Program. The program is intended as a \u201cgateway into WAC,\u201d so new faculty and faculty who have not yet worked with our program are particularly encouraged to apply. The purpose of the program is to foster improvement of student learning through writing in the disciplines. This goal will be accomplished through the design of innovative instructional approaches, assignments, and classroom activities. Grants will be awarded to assist faculty in designing activities, assignments, outcomes, and even courses that will improve the teaching and learning of writing in their departments and programs.<\/p>\n

Individual full-time faculty members and small faculty teams from all departments and academic units are eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

We particularly encourage applications from faculty members teaching GEP courses, online courses, and large courses, as well as courses that serve as gateways to a major.<\/p>\n

Awards will range from $300 to $500, depending on the scope of the proposed project.<\/p>\n

The winners of the grant will create their deliverable in the fall of 2016 and pilot it in one or several of their course during spring of 2017. Grant recipients who successfully complete the program will be given priority for admission into the WAC Fellows and other WAC faculty development programs at UCF.<\/p>\n
