Abstract | This research study of a WAC learning community focuses on instructors' behind-the-scenes decision making about assignment design. Specifically, we show how instructors use direct personal experience--as students, teachers and scholars--to approach writing assignment design, invoking these experiences to discuss the origin of their assignments and to respond to other instructors' assignments. Accounting for both the positive and negative influence of instructors' direct personal experience, we argue, pushes WAC scholars and practitioners to conceptualize disciplinary instructors more fully as learners and to create strategies for instructor development that prioritize the personal experiences that instructors bring with them to designing assignments.
