Abstract
A senior level course in Computer Networks was included in Radford University's Writing-Intensive Course program. This implied that writing was used in every facet of the course by the students and by the instructor. The volume and the diversity of the writing significantly enhanced the educational experience from both points of view. Some beneficial effects and some detrimental ones on the amount of subject matter covered were experienced. The fundamental nature of the course, however, was not altered, and the net effects of the writing are seen as very beneficial.Keywords
