The low number of students who enroll in advanced courses at community colleges creates a number of problems, including cost inefficiency. One of the benefits derived from writing across the curriculum is the value writing provides in personalizing instruction. Writing is a way of activating passive students and encouraging student interaction with course content. Through an alternate delivery plan that uses a writing-based system, advanced courses could be made available as independent study. There are five steps in implementing and developing an advanced course bank: (1) planning the content of the course, (2) writing the goals for each unit, (3) choosing the content, (4) selecting the presentation, and (5) making it work. Skills that will be required of students include reading study guides, taking notes, annotating and underlining, paraphrasing and summarizing, keeping a learning log, issuing memos, writing papers, and taking essay tests. Such a plan presents an alternative to the dilemma of sending students to larger schools to take advanced classes or raising the cost-per-student by allowing classes with low enrollment to be taught.
