An ongoing process
The Writing Across the Curriculum Teaching Circle at UNCP hopes to help faculty try to improve student communication and analytical skills.
This is not a one-time project. It will be ongoing as long as students bring writing problems with them into the university.
Although we may dream of a time when we can concentrate entirely on teaching the body of knowledge in our field, there probably never will be a time when students come to us with a complete set of scholar skills. Until then, we also must help students write and think. Otherwise, they may assume that our message is the content is important and the process is not.
