3 Writing Across the Curriculum Rationale: Mohave Community College firmly supports the idea that writing can be used to improve education; students who write in their respective content areas will learn more and retain what they learn better than those who don t. Courses in the core curriculum have been identified as Writing Across the Curriculum courses. Minimum standards for the Writing Across the Curriculum component are: 1. The writing assignments should total words. For example, a single report which is 1500 words in length OR a series of essay questions and short papers (example: four 375-word assignments) which total 1500 words could meet the requirement. 2. The writing component will represent at least 10% of a student s final grade in the course. Is this course identified as a Writing Across the Curriculum course? Yes _x No (See addendum for writing rubrics) Intended Course Goals By the end of the semester, students will be able to: 1. Describes & demonstrates the applicable safety procedures and the use of personal protective equipment. 2. Performs SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), FCAW (Flux-cored Arc Welding), and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welds to given specifications. 3. Use the appropriate thermal cutting process according to the given specifications. 4. Performs visual inspection to cut, prepared or gouged surfaces to meet given specifications. 5. Performs safety inspection of welding equipment and accessories.
