REPORT ON RECERTIFICATION OF W COURSE: ATMO 459
We recommend that ATMO 459, Tropical Meteorology, be re-certified as a writing-intensive (W) course for the next four academic years (1/08 to 1/13). We have reviewed the syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria:
1. Percentage of final grade based on writing quality (35%)
2. Course content appropriate to the major
3. Total number of words (2000-3000)
4. Instructor to student ratio for one section: 1:20
Critical comments are provided by the instructor on weekly/biweekly short essay questions, review papers, outline of term paper, and rough draft of term paper. Writing instruction is provided through an inclusive lecture style, and writing models and feedback are provided throughout the course.
No significant changes have been made since original certification was granted.

Tidbits
Blot out, correct, inert, refine,
Enlarge, diminish, interline;
Be mindful, when invention fails,
To scratch your head, and bite your nails.
– Jonathan Swift
