A New Approach to Teaching Business Writing: Writing across the Core--A Document Based Curriculum
Hutchins, Teresa D.
American Journal of Business Education, v8 n2 p131-138 2015
This paper describes the transition that the Anisfield School of Business of Ramapo College of New Jersey made from a conventional Writing Across the Curriculum approach to a Writing Across the Business Core approach. The impetus for the change is explained as well as the creation and design of the program. The document driven program is analyzed, with special emphasis on faculty buy in. The rationale for the documents chosen is provided as is the logic behind the course sequence. The paper concludes with the results of the first assessment of the program.
