AI-intensive Writing, Research & Inquiry Courses\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Spring 2024 and Spring 2025, with support from he Shipley Center, the Writing Program and CGS Rhetoric will pilot AI-intensive first-year Writing, Research & Inquiry sections with the goals of (1) <\/span>helping these programs understand how students use AI-assisted writing when permitted to do so; (2) <\/span>develop assignments, lessons, and activities that help students understand the benefits and risks of using AI as part of the writing and research process; (3) <\/span>informing program guidelines and pedagogies around AI going forward. For more information about the pilot, contact Sarah Madsen Hardy<\/a> or Matt Parfitt<\/a>. For information about undergraduate AI Writing Affiliate Fellowships, see this job posting<\/a>. View final presentations from Spring 2025 AI Affiliates with ideas for lesson plans and suggested in-class AI-assisted activities here<\/a> (BU login required).<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing in the Disciplines (<\/span>WID<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Writing Program works closely with specific departments to help them integrate writing into their majors in ways that are consistent with disciplinary perspectives and values. WID initiatives<\/a> include <\/span>Tutoring Writing in the Disciplines<\/span><\/a> (TWID<\/a>), and <\/span>the WID Faculty Consultant Program, sponsored by Jennifer Simpson (CAS 2000).<\/span><\/p>\n

Kilachand Honors College (KHC)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The KHC Writing Studio is a two-semester, themed course that introduces students to the college writing skills required by Boston University and the living-learning community of <\/span>Kilachand Honors College<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 The Writing Studio courses require students to engage socially relevant texts, attend co-curricular events, and write and converse critically about those experiences. Several members of the Writing Program faculty teach KHC Studio courses. Writing Program faculty are also eligible to propose upper-level KHC courses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Core Curriculum<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Core<\/span><\/a> is an interdisciplinary general education curriculum that focuses on classic texts and fundamental questions. The Writing Program has a long-standing relationship with Core. Writing Program faculty oversee the Core\u2019s <\/span>Graduate Writing Fellows<\/span><\/a> program, teach sections in Core\u2019s series of humanities courses, and are eligible to participate in the Core Faculty Fellowship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WP-CGS Exchange<\/span><\/h3>\n

A limited number of Writing Program and College of General Studies Rhetoric<\/a> faculty teach in each other\u2019s programs each year. Writing Program instructors participating in the exchange teach CGS Rhetoric 103 during the Spring term followed by a compact, dense, and fast-moving six-week summer term in London.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WP-CTL Exchange<\/span><\/h3>\n

As a teaching program, the Writing Program collaborates with the Center for Teaching & Learning<\/a> in a variety of ways. On an occasional basis, Writing Program faculty receive a course release for collaborating on a teaching and learning project while a CTL staff member teaches a WR class.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
