Assessing WAC Elements in Business Syllabi
Nicolas, Maureen O’Day; Annous, Samer
Business Communication Quarterly, v76 n2 p172-187 Jun 2013
This study investigates syllabi for evidence of the principles of writing across the curriculum (WAC) in courses offered by the Faculty of Business (FOB) at a university operating in a non–English-speaking country. The research analyzed all syllabi of FOB courses offered in the spring 2010 semester for evidence of WAC looking for indications of writing activities. The analysis focused on both expressive/informal and product/formal writing and discovered through the syllabi the intention of the instructor to incorporate writing. The findings suggest that these courses require little or no writing and therefore principles of WAC are not evident. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
