In this article, Knoblauch and Brannon urge colleges and universities to develop a more comprehensive and student-centered approach to
writing-across-the-
curriculum programs. The two main obstacles to ensuring such a recommendation are politics and instructional philosophies within the educational institution. WAC programs should concentrate on facilitate student
learning by applying real perspectives to student writing. However, many programs have fallen short of this expectation, only resulting into a correcting modals that use English
departments for guidance. Knoblauch and Brannon stress that the value of any writing course lies in its power to enable its students to discover knowledge. When other departments adopt this idea of learning, WAC programs can promote skill-enhancing methods that will benefit student, regardless of department or major.
