Informed Consent Form,  2010-2011

Gustavus Adolphus College is in the process of assessing its Writing Across the Curriculum program and its impact on student writing.  As part of this process students in some courses will be asked to complete a pre-course survey and a post-course survey at the end of their writing course.  Students may also be asked by their professor in select writing classes for permission to share a first and final draft of a paper with the Director of Writing and Writing Program Advisory Committee. 

For this assessment project, we ask your permission to allow your professor to submit a first and final draft of a paper you wrote within the course.  These papers and the results of the surveys you are asked to complete will be used in a strictly confidential and anonymous fashion.  That is, any reporting of results will NOT refer directly to students by name or course.

If you have any questions feel free to contact the Director of Writing Across the Curriculum, Dr. Jeanne Herman at 7614.  jherman@gustavus.edu
