Class description
The Interdisciplinary Writing Program (IWP) offers writing courses linked with specified lecture courses (see the Time Schedule for current offerings or contact the IWP office at 206-543-2190). These writing courses can be used to satisfy either the University's 5-credit composition requirement or half of the 10-credit "Additional Writing" requirement. Students can take up to three linked writing classes. In a writing link, students are members of a small community focused on materials and ideas introduced by a lecture course. Students gain a fuller understanding of problems, theories, texts, and events discussed in a lecture, and they find that, by writing, they extend and refine their thoughts. Most students say that pairing a writing course with a lecture course enhances their learning in both.
