In Geology and Environmental Earth Science, students use informal writing (like observational notes, data plots, diagrams, etc.)to generate ideas and do the work of science.
Using Formal Genres to Teach Writing
In International Studies, students learn about important genres in their field by analyzing and then constructing target texts.
Teaching Disciplinary Values Through Writing
In History, students explicitly learn about the specialized conventions that reflect disciplinary values and goals in their field. View a sample syllabus for HST 206: Introduction to Historical Inquiry.
