Ex-Officio Members Present K. Ryan, K. Webster
The meeting was called to order at 1:10 p.m.
The minutes from 2/15/11 were approved. Although there was not a quorum and the
2/22/11 meeting, the notes were discussed.
Communication Item:

Professor Silverman resigned due to a course conflict. A message will be sent to
the Social Science chairs to find a replacement.
Business Item:

The writing course distribution was approved (appended below). The rolling
review of writing courses will start in 2012- 2013.

Discussion continued regarding UDWPA recommendations. Many programs
have been contacting the Writing Center to get the UDWPA results to include in
their assessment documents. If the UDWPA is eliminated instructors will need
assistance in imbedding assessment into their courses. Specific writing
assessment needs will need to be identified and incorporated into current work.
The Committed may need to address the common misperceptions on campus in its
justification of the recommendation. How will program level assessment be equal
to the UDWPA in terms of quality and student accountability? What is the
consequence to students? Should the recommendation include redirecting
resources for courses to improve students writing in addition to program level
assessment? The Committee may need to anticipate resistance and provide
examples and data to persuade faculty that the recommendation has value. It may
suggest a pilot project as well.
Director Ryan will send the Assessment guide from the University of
Massachusetts. Barbara Wolvoord is an excellent resource for writing across the
Curriculum.
A member from the Assessment Committee should be invited to the Writing
Committee for input.

If the committee considers allowing seniors to submit a GRE score in place of taking the
UDWPA it will need to determine an appropriate score (likely a 4.5).

There will not be a meeting next week.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:03 p.m.
