Writing in the Discipline (WID) courses equip students with the skills to write effectively within their chosen fields. Taught by faculty in their discipline, these courses help students engage with subject-specific writing conventions and critical inquiry. Students learn to communicate ideas clearly, develop arguments using discipline-appropriate genres, and use writing as a tool for learning. WID courses emphasize revision, feedback, and structured writing processes, ensuring students gain practical experience in producing professional, academic, and public-facing texts relevant to their field.
This requirement does not carry separate ECTS credits; instead, it is embedded within courses students already take in their major.
After completing Writing in the Discipline requirements, students will be able to:
- Use writing for inquiry to engage in the intellectual practices of the discipline.
- Demonstrate the rhetorical flexibility to compose effective, discipline-specific writing for academic, professional, and public audiences.
