The Collegial Learning Assessment (CLA), an intiative of the Office of University Evaluation, is part of ASU's effort to assess its success in helping students develop critical thinking, reading and writing skills through the undergraduate curriculum.

In Fall 2008, the Writing Programs are contributing to this effort by allowing the Office of University Evaluation to implement the CLA through the first-year composition courses, including ENG 101, 102, 105, 107, 108 and 111 as well as WAC 101 and 107 (including hybrid and online sections).

Currently, some of the links on this page point to an older version of the Writing Programs website, which may be out of date. Those pages will be replaced with new pages as they become available.

Please follow these guidelines (attached) as you prepare your syllabi for your Writing Programs courses. (ASUID login required to see the attachments.)

This is a list of commonly used textbooks in Writing Programs. Faculty Associates and Teaching Assistants/Associates who have either more than three (3) years teaching experience at ASU in Writing Programs courses, or nine (9) or more graduate-level hours of rhetoric/composition courses (including the TA Seminar) may choose their own textbooks. Please note that it is Writing Programs policy that all classes use a rhetoric; you can select a separate reader, or use a rhetoric/reader. All textbooks must meet the goals and objectives of the Writing Programs.

The Stretch Program is a two-semester, six-credit-hour sequence of classes that "stretches" English 101 or English 107 over two semesters. In effect, these connected Stretch Program classes (WAC 101 followed by English 101 or, for international students, WAC 107 followed by English 107) provide students the opportunity for extended experience at working with many and various ways of both reading and writing.
