Abstract: This article presents strategies used in a faculty development seminar on writing across the curriculum (WAC) as an instructional tool to foster mastery of course learning objectives. Three seminar demonstrations are described, and research on WAC with both hearing and deaf students is reviewed. Suggested questions allow teachers to evaluate WAC in their classes. (DB)
