The instructors, department staff, and Director of Expository Writing are dedicated to providing valuable writing instruction for the 4,000 plus students taking classes in the program annually.
Undergraduate students taking courses in the Expository Writing Program include both pre-majors and students majoring in disciplines from across the university. During Autumn Quarter, most students in English 131 are part of Freshman Interest Groups.
Courses in the EWP are taught exclusively by Teaching Assistants in the English Department and faculty specialists in Language and Rhetoric. All instructors in the program have taken graduate course work in rhetoric and composition and participated in two weeks of intensive orientation before their first quarter of teaching in the EWP. Adjunct instructors do not teach in the Expository Writing Program.
The staff in the Expository Writing Office are indispensible resources for students, instructors, and faculty. The current staff include:
Professor Anis Bawarshi assumed the role of Director of Expository Writing at the University of Washington during Spring Quarter of 2004. Professor Bawarshi first taught writing at the University of Kansas and has been actively involved in the Expository Writing Program since he became a faculty member at the University of Washington in 1999. An important aspect of his research involves genres and how students learn to write in different contexts. He is currently working with a group of graduate students at the University of Washington on a research study that examines how students in Expository Writing Program courses draw on and use prior genre knowledge when they encounter new writing tasks.
