Status: Approved

REPORT ON RECERTIFICATION OF W COURSE: EHRD 371

CERTIFICATION PERIOD: 1/1/25 to 1/1/29                  

We recommend that EHRD 371 Applied Learning Principles be certified as a writing (W) course. We have reviewed a representative syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria: (1) 80% of the final grade is based on writing quality; (2) the total number of words is 4,850; (3) the instructor to student ratio is 1:18; and (4) the assigned writing is appropriate to the major.

EHRD 371’s writing component consists of 10 reflective journal entries, discussion participation, a lead-up assignment for the learning experience research paper (NOTE: this is not a draft), and the learning experience research paper. Students receive formative feedback on all the components of the lead-up assignment that pertain to the research paper, and also receive formative feedback on their writing through minor assignments such as discussion posts. Writing instruction includes discussion of assignments during lecture and presentations from the UWC and library.
