If you are assigned to teach a WAC-designated course, there is a chance that your class section might be randomly selected to participate in the program’s assessment.
All syllabi for WAC-designated courses contain the following statement:
If this class is selected to participate in the university-wide WAC assessment program, you will be required to access the online assessment server, complete the consent form and survey, and submit electronically a first and final draft of a near-end-of-term-paper.
Every semester, about 15-20 sections are randomly selected by the office of Institutional Effectiveness & Analysis to participate in the WAC assessment. All students in those sections are required to participate.
The most frequently asked questions from faculty are listed below. Additional questions might be addressed in the Student section.
If you have questions that are not answered here, please contact the WAC Director, Sipai Klein, or the WAC Assistant Director, Julianne Zvolensky.
