Writing Across the Curriculum Honor

Writing Across the Curriculum would like to honor faculty in the Biology Department for their work using writing as a High Impact Practice to help students develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills.  Following the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) format created by Mary-Ann Winkelmes and endorsed by the AAC&U, they gave writing assignments that helped students see more clearly how they learn and why their learning matters.  They have contributed to the persistence and success of students in the health pathways and increased student access to Hight Impact Practices, including Writing Intensive Courses, at MCC. 

The recipients of the 2021 Writing Across the Curriculum Honor are:

Associate Professor James Cronmiller, Biology 145, Human Anatomy & Physiology II

Professor Christopher Wendtland, Biology 145, Human Anatomy and Physiology II

Assistant Professor, Julie Babulski, Biology 133, Human Biology

Professor Michele Finn, Biology 133, Human Biology

Professor Jennifer Hill, Biology 133, Human Biology

Professor Jennifer Markham, Biology 133, Human Biology

Professor James Murphy, Biology 133, Human Biology

Professor May Jo Vest, Biology 133, Human Biology

Associate Professor Atif Wahba, Biology 133, Human Biology

 

Congratulations on behalf of the Writing Across the Curriculum Committee!

Ilene Benz, Visual and Performing Arts; Kathleen Borbee, Business Administration; Ryan Clemens, Chemistry and Geosciences; Catharine Ganze Smith, English and Philosophy; Thomas Heidt, Mathematics; Judi Salsburg, ESOL/Transitional Studies; and Mark Sample, AHPS

Making a course writing intensive (WR) is a Hight Impact Practice.  In writing intensive courses, students have the opportunity to learn course content through formal and informal writing assignments. To find out more about WR courses at MCC, consult your student handbook or visit the Writing Across the Curriculum website at http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/wac.
