College: Arts and Sciences
Department: International Studies
Type: W
Status: Approved
REPORT ON RECERTIFICATION OF W COURSE: INTS 409
CERTIFICATION PERIOD: 1/1/23 to 1/1/27
We recommend that INTS 409 Culture, Neoliberalism and Globalism 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) 55% of the final grade is based on writing quality; (2) the total number of words is 3000; (3) the instructor to student ratio is 1:25; and (4) the assigned writing is appropriate to the major.
Students write an annotated bibliography and a research paper, which is also turned in as a rough draft for formative feedback in the form of written instructor comments. For students who need extra help, a conference with the instructor is required. They also get some instructor feedback on their annotated bibliography after they submit two sample entries. Instruction includes discussion of topic ideas for research, detailed review of the requirements for each assignment, including how it will be assessed, models, and review of assigned readings as examples of writing.
