Symbiosis Writing and an Academic Culture

This is a highly engaging story about how the implementation of a writing-across-the-curriculum program evolved, and of how such a program has altered philosophies rather than only practices -- about how when a university tests in depth the concept that writing is a chief means of learning, that institution becomes perforce a place where teaching and learning become its true reason for being. Kipling and Murphy's account, in detailing the development and effects of its WAC program, offers telling insights into the dynamics of institutional culture. Readers will hear firsthand accounts from faculty, administration, and students, framed in an ethnographic narrative that both persuades and inspires. Recommended for all college faculty and administrators.Kipling, Kim is the author of 'Symbiosis Writing and an Academic Culture', published 1992 under ISBN 9780867093131 and ISBN 0867093137.
