Is Writing Across the Curriculum the same thing as Critical Thinking through Writing?
No. Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) is a pedagogical movement which promotes writing in all disciplines. GSU’s WAC program was established in 1996. While the WAC program enriches the entire academic environment, its main focus is on faculty development. Critical Thinking through Writing (CTW)is GSU’s Quality Enhancement Plan required for SACS accreditation. The CTW course requirement was enacted by the university senate in 2007. While CTW will enrich the entire academic environment, its main focus is on student enrichment. Review this table for more information regarding the differences between WAC and CTW.
