Writing Across the Curriculum Rationale:
Mohave Community College firmly supports the idea that writing can be used to improve
education; students who write in their respective content areas will learn more and retain
what they learn better than those who don’t. Courses in the core curriculum have been
identified as “Writing Across the Curriculum” courses.
Minimum standards for the Writing Across the Curriculum component are:
1. The writing assignments should total 1500 – 2000 words.
For example, a single report which is 1500 words in length
OR
a series of essay questions and short papers (example: four 375-word
assignments) which total 1500 words could meet the requirement.
2. The writing component will represent at least 10% of a student’s final grade in
the course.
Is this course identified as a Writing Across the Curriculum course? ____Yes _X___No
(See addendum for writing rubrics)
