We do not need to convince you of the power of learning a subject by learning how to write.
Studies show that students master course material better when they express it in words.
Students also master writing better when they explore topics relevant to their studies and interests.
We are here to offer useful resources:
- A growing library of books for your classes. The current titles include:
- Reading and Writing the Essay: Ideal for first-year writing classes.
- Writing About Government and Policy: For Introduction to American Government, as well as upper-level classes and seminars where you want to focus on writing skills.
- Writing About Place: For students in architecture, planning, preservation, environmental studies, and other “place”-oriented classes.
- The “mother ship”: The Elements of Writing, the only comprehensive brain-based system or writing well in all fields.
- Coming soon: Writing About Business, perfect for both undergraduate and MBA programs.
- The opportunity to customize and co-brand these books for your institution.
- Supplementary materials, including first-draft syllabi, paper assignment ideas, templates for specific kinds of writing, and FAQ for both teachers and students.
- Case studies showing how you can use WAP in your classes.
- A complete video program, offering these lessons for “flipped learning,” so you can focus on applying the tools in your valuable class time.
- A community of teachers and scholars for writing across the discipline, with special events, bulletin boards, and answers to questions as they arise.
