Special year-long ATWP writing course coming 2022/23.

In Fall 2022, the Academic and Technical Writing Program (ATWP) will pilot a year-long "stretch" writing course (for a total of 3.0 units) by linking a Fall section of ATWP 101, Fundamentals of Academic Literacy, to a reduced-cap Spring 2023 section of ATWP 135, Academic Reading and Writing.

Meet the Academic Writing Requirement (AWR) in a gradual, holistic way, with a community of peers.

In this video course instructor, Andrew Murray introduces the course and its benefits. Please visit the ATWP website for more information.
