The First-Year Writing Syllabus Project

The First-Year Writing Syllabus Project

The First-Year Writing (FYW) Syllabus Project is a faculty-led research effort to collect syllabi and curricular information from FYW instructors. By researching and reporting on national trends in curricula, we hope to provide instructors, WPAs, and researchers stronger understanding of and resources for FYW.

This research is supported by a National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) grant—the CCCC Emergent Researcher Award—and is in partnership with the First-Year Composition Archive. To participate or learn more, click on one of the links below or visit our About page.
