What Is CID?
Communication in the Disciplines (CID) programs facilitate students’ mastery of course content and develop their scholarly expertise, while improving their communication skills. CID courses emphasize discipline-specific modes of inquiry, vocabulary and concepts, genres, and discourse conventions in a particular field of study, while reinforcing general rhetorical principles. CID instruction can be embedded in existing courses in a variety of ways, from the introduction of an in-class workshop to coach or TA training to wholesale curricular change.
