TO explore good teaching materials, program descriptions, assessments, and scholarly statements, consult these sites.
If you are looking for writing in a specific discipline, try the WAC Clearinghouse first, then the database at LSU, or sites at Northern Illinois, CSU Fullerton, and Purdue that identify which programs are strong in particular disciplines (e.g., Belmont University features WAC in a pharmacy college program).
WAC Clearinghouse http://aw.colostate.edu/resource_list.htm
This is the major on-line site for WAC. It contains books and articles on WAC (e.g., program descriptions, philosophical statements, and empirical assessments), handouts for teaching across fields, bibliographies, and even a list-serv. For example, if you type in a topic such as "informal writing," you'll get a page with links to essays that define the term, handouts for classroom use professors have developed across fields, and so on.
Louisiana State University http://appl003.lsu.edu/acadaff/cxcweb.nsf/index On Information for Faculty, you'll find CxC Toolkit, which contains a searchable database full of syllabi and instructional materials across the disciplines, as well as Writing Guides to the Disciplines developed by Oregon State University faculty. Because the LSU program stresses the relationship among oral, visual, and written rhetoric, it's a good site, especially, to find material relating to technical, art and design disciplines.
George Mason University http://wac.gmu.edu/ This site describes what some call the best WAC program in the country. It is notable especially for its writing guides to specific disciplines, careful assessments, and discipline-specific rubrics. Handouts for teaching across fields are also excellent.
University of Illinois at Urbana http://www.cws.illinois.edu An extensive site featuring the research from the U of I's Center for Writing Studies. Go to Writing across the Curriculum, which will take you to WAC Resources. Here you will find a page containing links to handouts, syllabi, and descriptions of teaching in specific fields. On the title Under This Page, you'll find general strategies from the U of I annual faculty seminars.
University of Hawaii at Manoa http://www.mwp.hawaii.edu/ This excellent site from an excellent program contains classroom handouts and syllabi from many fields, many of them framed by the assessment research conducted at U of H for years. Handouts on how to teach the research paper, for example, describe strategies in light of student perceptions Hawaii faculty have studied.
Quinnipiac University http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1051.xml This is the program that produced Direct From the Disciplines, a faculty guide to teaching writing across many disciplines. The site also contains a video presentation, student writing in response to specific assignments, and a wealth of handouts on a various topics.
University of Missouri at Columbia http://cwp.missouri.edu/ Drawing from a well-established program, this site offers some excellent handouts for both faculty and students on topics ranging from writing a lab report to using a specific documentation style.
University of Richmond http://writing.richmond.edu/program/index.html This site is especially notable for its blogs, wac wiki, and newsletter archive on every conceivable topic relating to WAC. The site offers excellent teaching materials for faculty but also resources for tutors and students.
Purdue University http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/WAC/ This well-known site is especially helpful for its annotated bibliographies faculty can use to find out about WAC in their fields.
Northern Illinois University http://www.engl.niu.edu/wac This site provides a briefly annotated list of WAC program sites and their specific strengths.
CSU Fullerton http://fdc.fullerton.edu/research/faculty_writing_resources.htm Under Faculty Writing Resources, this site includes a useful annotated list of websites.
