Student success in writing courses in college ENG and DEV ENG has drawn much attention and effort at colleges across the United States.  Sinclair is no exception. Sinclair writing faculty in both the Developmental Studies and English departments have worked individually for many years with a goal of improving students’ success in writing.  The Writing Success AQIP project will foster collaborative efforts between both departments and enlist broader institutional support to expand the search for new or refined teaching methods and other opportunities to improve writing success and retention.
