Writing Courses at the Center for Teaching and Learning
A consistent feature of an Antioch education is the role writing plays within academic study. Rather than tests and exams, Antioch students use writing to illustrate their complex understanding of new concepts. In this way, writing becomes more than words on a page—writing becomes a "way of knowing," a representation of the critical reflection engaged in learning. Writing is an essential mode of learning at Antioch University, so essential that some academic programs require writing classes at the beginning of study.
At Antioch University Seattle, we have developed course offerings in writing that are innovative and integrative across academic programs. The writing courses are designed to support the writing growth and success of AUS students. These writing courses offer Antioch students a broad scope of writing experience, from understanding the writing process to academic writing, from formal research and inquiry to technical and professional writing. The courses are all taught by experienced faculty "writing experts" and are designed with the specific educational goal of bringing a critical examination of writing to the academic experience at AUS.
Students may also develop writing skills through workshops and direct writing assistance offered in the Academic Support Lab.
