|Now there is another excellent resource for those academicians seeking to nurture writing across the curriculum programs on their campuses: Susan H. McLeod and Margot Soven's detailed guide Writing Across the Curriculum. Indeed, even those directors whose programs are underway will find both interesting ways to expand their efforts and sound advice about pitfalls to avoid. . . . All readers will find user-friendly advice for program development in each chapter. . . . Deserves a place on the shelves of most writing across the curriculum program directors and college administrators.| --The Modern Language Journal |In achieving its aims this book is very successful. . . . One reason for its success is that it is indeed a book, a sort of collaboratively written monograph, rather than a loose collection of separate essays. The editors have succeeded in inducing an impressive roster of knowledgeable authorities in the field to write chapters that together make up a coherent 'how to do it' volume, a volume that speaks with one clear, authoritative voice to the needs of university leaders. . . . The first three chapters offer very practical guidance for launching a WAC program successfully. . . . Everything that a school needs to develop a mature and successful WAC program is detailed in this relatively brief volume. . . . One reason the volume is so successful is that the chapters are so consistent.| --Composition Chronicle |This book is . . . an indispensable tool for new WAC directors/creators; however, the collection delivers more than its title promises, providing not only a 'guide to developing programs' but also a wealth of information and some important reminders for seasoned WAC directors. . . . They have created a collection that includes a coherent philosophy of WAC, one based on respect for the expertise of faculty in disciplines other than English. . . . Barbara Walvoord's excellent essay, 'Getting Started' (arguably the most important piece in the collection, certainly the most often cited by the editors and other writers), describes a conversation-based philosophy of WAC with which many other writers in the collection clearly agree. . . . This collection brims over with practical help on a wide range of problems confronting any WAC administrator. . . . This collection includes several pieces to refresh old news and more familiar pieces to remind us that the challenges WAC programs face often create the best possibilities for program innovation and educational reform.| --WPA: Writing Program Administration How can institutions develop and sustain writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs? This volume, written for faculty and administrators alike, answers that question. Chapters written by some of the foremost WAC directors and consultants in the country discuss how to get started, how to run WAC workshops, what role administrators can play, and how WAC can be integrated into the university curriculum. Also, there are pertinent chapters on developing permanent institutional support for WAC. Writing Across the Curriculum gives details about resources successful WAC programs need--coordinators, faculty who participate in workshops and seminars, support systems such as peer tutoring or writing centers, and models of institution-specific curricular elements. The book assumes that WAC directors are learners, as well as facilitators of learning, as they expand the definition of |good| writing through discussion with others throughout the disciplines.
