Students are required to complete two courses designated as writing intensive, including at least one in the department of the major course of study. (They may choose to take the other as a course that satisfies general requirements or as an elective.) All departments offer at least one writing intensive course, identified in the Schedule of Classes with a Q prefix.
The
Writing Intensive (WI)
requirement
reinforces writing skills attained in composition courses. Each WI
course requires students to undertake substantive writing assignments which are evaluated not only on content but also on issues of grammar, organization, and rhetoric. WI
courses also emphasize drafting, revision, and critical feedback.
For further information about the WI requirement
and a current listing of writing intensive courses, see http://wac.newark.rutgers.edu.
