Rubrics provide scoring guidelinesthat outline performance criteria for a task, while checklists are simple lists of specific elementsthat should be included in an assignment. Checklists can serve as quick-reference tools to ensurethat all necessary components are covered. Our checklist prompts students to mark each requiredelement to cross off completed items.In this work-in-progress study we share our efforts to develop and implement this writingchecklist, focusing on its potential to address the challenges indicated above. Specifically, weinvestigated the following research questions: (1) Does the

composition course. The recommendation from this research was to haveEnglish teachers, and those in other fields to collaboratively develop writing assignments for stu-dents. This and other similar studies eventually led to the development of the writing across thecurriculum (WAC) movement, although this didn’t develop much steam until much later. WACwould likely be seen as relatively new in the 1970s. The first writing across the curriculum con-ference was held in 1993, the first journal in 1994. Eventually the first two journals merged intothe WAC Clearinghouse (http://wac.colostate.edu). Writing in the Disciplines (WID) focuses ondiscipline-specific writing practices and training.
