What is a Curriculum Vitae? Also called a CV or vita, the curriculum vitae is, as its name suggests, an overview of your life's accomplishments, most specifically those that are relevant to the academic realm. How is a CV different from a resume? The most noticeable difference between most CVs and most resumes is the length. What should I include? What comes first depends both on your background and on the job for which you are applying.
If you are applying at a research university, research projects, conference presentations, and especially publications become very important. Is there a standard curriculum vitae format? OWL | CV.

Teaching with Writing WAC is more than just a set of teaching practices. It is a perspective which argues that 1) writing is a central means for learning, clarifying, organizing, and expressing ideas and information, and 2) all teachers should share responsibility for helping students become successful writers both inside and outside of the classroom. In the best writing-infused classrooms, the following goals are being met: students have learned ways to use writing to learn course material, they understand the importance of revision to refine their thinking as well as their writing, and they believe teachers are interested in actually reading their papers, and not simply in grading them. The information in this section of the WAC website is listed under Practices, Resources and Handouts for Faculty.
