Writing Across the Curriculum Rationale: Mohave Community College firmly supports the idea that writing can be used to improve education; students who write in their respective content areas will learn more and retain what they learn better than those who don’t. Courses in the core curriculum have been identified as “Writing Across the Curriculum” courses. Suggested minimum standards for Writing Across the Curriculum component are as follows: 1. The writing assignments should total 1500 – 2000 words. For example, a single report which is 1500 words in length could fulfill the requirement, or a series of essay questions and short papers (example: four 375-word assignments) which total 1500 words could meet the requirement. 2. The writing component will represent at least 10% of a student’s final grade in the

MCC Form EDU 0007 (rev. 10/6/09)

course. Is this course identified as a Writing Across the Curriculum course? Yes No

Intended Course Outcomes By the end of the semester, students will be able to: 1. Draw objectively and descriptively by applying fundamental visual observation and drawing techniques. 2. Draw using a variety of mixed media. 3. Draw with wet and dry color media techniques. 4. Create drawings that evidence design principles and communicate specific expressive content. 5. Evaluate the form and content of drawings. 6. 7.
