WAC Resources
As the first half of the vertical writing curriculum, students complete Expository Writing during their first year and Introduction to Writing Across the Curriculum during their second year at Appalachian State. WAC supports the transfer of student knowledge and skills across these courses and into the WID and capstone courses by providing resources and faculty development opportunities.
