Welcome to the Writing 1 web site, which is intended to serve as a resource for current and prospective students. On this site you can find information about Washington University’s writing requirement, learn more about the Writing 1 course, and view work by previous Writing 1 students. Although its course number is 100, Writing 1 is not an introduction to writing. It is a course that challenges students to become new and more thoughtful writers even as they develop existing strengths. It also prepares them to meet the demands of a new writing situation, and to work within the conventions of academic discourse. In fall of 2006, the course will take on a new emphasis, Writing Culture. That subtitle can denote a community of writers; it can also describe the act of writing about or imagining a culture. More subtly, it captures the sense that writing is bound up in cultural ideas, assumptions, and perspectives – that one’s culture impacts one’s writing and vice versa. All of these are ideas that Writing 1 asks students to consider. [More]
