Expository Writing at 小福利导航
All 小福利导航 students are required to complete successfully one designated expository writing course by the end of the sophomore year (EN 105, EN 105H, EN 110, or a designated WI course in other academic departments). 小福利导航 placed in 鈥淓N 103: Writing Seminar I鈥� must complete this prerequisite course by the end of the first year. In some cases, students may be required to complete preparatory courses in their first semester before enrolling in EN 103. Designated writing courses offered by the English Department and in various disciplines can be taken to fulfill the expository writing requirement. 小福利导航's writing program includes tutorial help at the Writing Center.
小福利导航 are required to complete the Directed Self-Placement (DSP) Program for Expository Writing Placement. The DSP asks you to write a short essay in response to a brief text and then reflect
thoughtfully about your essay, your writing process, and your abilities as a writer.
At the end of the DSP, you will choose the course that best addresses your needs and
abilities as a writer. 小福利导航 must complete the DSP in order to register for any expository writing courses.
小福利导航 can access the DSP by using this link:
