W​hy or in what ways is writing important to your discipline/field/profession?

经济学是一个以理论为基础的高度量化的领域. Students graduating from our programs have to be able to think both quantitatively and qualitatively. They should then be able to communicate information to a variety of stakeholders (colleagues, 管理团队, 感兴趣的公众, 等.) in a way that effectively aids sense making and supports sound decision making. 在这个过程中，写作是必不可少的. 没有有效的写作, students will not be able to distill theory and data into a crucial decision-making tool for the varied audiences for whom they will be writing.

Which courses are designated as satisfying the 纪律写作 (WID) requirement by your department? 为什么选这些课程?

Our department has designated the following courses as 纪律写作 courses for the economics program:

英语230:职场写作
经济学449:计量经济学导论
经济研究研讨会

These courses build on the totality of the economics curriculum and allow students to engage in significant research and writing projects. 

What forms or genres of writing will students learn and practice in your department’s WID courses? 为什么会有这些类型?

在WID课程中, 学生们练习备忘录之类的写作形式, 业务报告, 研究报告和学期论文. These forms of writing align students’ skills with program goals and prepare them for the kinds of writing they are likely to encounter and produce after graduation.

What kinds of teaching practices will students encounter in your department’s WID courses?

Students receive ongoing feedback on their writing in all departmental WID courses. This direct engagement with faculty allows students to improve as writers. Cases drawn from various subfields of finance encourage students to think about the discipline in more depth. Blogs written on the most current financial market events nudge students with what’s going on in the markets and tie these to ongoing course discussions.

当他们满足了你部门的WID要求时, 学生应该知道和能够做什么写作?

完成WID课程后, 经济学专业的学生应该会写报告, 备忘录, presentations and similar business communication documents that combine theory and empirical data to make clear and sound arguments that will facilitate decision making by a range of stakeholders.

Declaring a minor allows you to explore other areas of interest and make interdisciplinary connections. Minor areas at RIC complement and reinforce all major areas of study. 通过声明未成年人, 作为一名求职者，你可以使自己与众不同, 实习和志愿者机会.
