Writing Program
<p><strong>First Year Writing<br /></strong>In their first year, students take two writing courses, Writing I followed by Writing II. Writing I and Writing II are designed to provide students with the tools and confidence to be prepared for the writing situations they will encounter in their other courses at Lasell, in the professional world, and in their personal lives as active and engaged citizens. Writing I focuses on writing as a process. Students are introduced to a variety of strategies and techniques to use as writers. Writing II builds on what students learn in Writing I and includes an emphasis on research writing.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC)<br /></strong>Students engage in writing throughout their entire educational career at Lasell College. First year students take two writing courses, Writing I and Writing II, and upper class students take two Writing Intensive courses in their major. The goal of the Writing Intensive Courses is to build on the tools and skills learned in English 101 and 102 and provide students with guidance and instruction on how to write for a particular discipline. In each major, students will take one Writing Intensive Course at the 200 level and one at the 300/400 level. While the types of assignments in Writing Intensive Courses will vary by major, all assignments will provide students with practice in writing clear, well-organized persuasive prose. Additionally, faculty in a wide variety of courses incorporate multiple types of writing into their classes as a way to help students learn and engage with the course material. - See more at: <a href="http://www.lasell.edu/academics/academic-catalog/undergraduate-catalog/academic-information.html#sthash.mejtQbv6.dpuf">http://www.lasell.edu/academics/academic-catalog/undergraduate-catalog/academic-information.html#sthash.mejtQbv6.dpuf</a></p>
