About the Program


The Writing Program at USF is based on collaboration between teachers,

administrators, and students. Our website at collegewriting.us allows teachers to

sign-in, share teaching ideas, post office hours, and share assignments that

highlight the dimensions of USF's General Education Curricula.


Our FYC Program consists of over 100 teachers and is supervised by Dr. Joe

Moxley, Director. Several members of the English Department serve on the FYC

Policy Committee, which guides programmatic decisions regarding professional

development, assessment, teacher supervision, and textbooks.
