Thank you for participating in our first ever WID for Adjuncts Online. I am pasting in below the list of requirements for your WID Portfolio, some, most or all of which you have already posted in individual blogs here. Everything you have completed will be reviewed and as soon as all parts are completed, we will send you your WID Certificate.
Please use this space to upload a (strong) sample of a student's staged essay (you may remove student's name, or ask his/her permission. I will write a permission/waiver note and paste it below in so you can copy it!
Also please post a reflection on the research process (your final journal entry)--what worked well? what would you change? And we welcome any final thoughts on the WID process--suggestions and what worked well for you. As this was our first online effort, we are interested in making this process a good one so your thoughts are welcome.
For those of you who cannot post a staged essay at this point, we will keep this site open and you may post it when your students have completed the assignment.
Here is a review of the WID Portfolio components we have staged on this blog:
1. Copy of your WIDed syllabus*
2. Copies
of low stakes writing assignments included on your new syllabus
3. Samples
of well-executed student work
4. Excerpts
from your teaching journal (reflections on blog)
5. Copy of staged writing assignment--detailed, all stages and process
6. Indication on syllabus that this is writing intensive course, that there will be writing every week and that writing will count for 20% of the grade. (This is a college requirement for WI courses.)
*I made a section of the tabs on top of our blog for your WIDed syllabi. If you send them to me I will post them. I have also made a tab for samples of student work (primarily the staged essay). As soon as you have a digital version of a fairly strong essay, please forward to me and I will upload that too.
Also thank you to our Writing Fellows for commenting on faculty work and sharing their own ideas for writing intensive assignments!
