WR95 COLLEGE WRITING FUNDAMENTALSIf your placement score places you in WR95 College Writing Fundamentals, you can anticipate grammar review and writing exercises to help you build writing fluency.
In WR95, students will review the writing processes, purposes and basic conventions of standard written English by combining sentences and by writing 5 short to medium length papers. Students will need to pass a departmental final exam during finals week (worth 30%) that will test student abilities to write paragraphs and demonstrate editing and proofreading skills for standard written English.
Students successfully completing WR95 with a 'C' grade or better may advance directly to WR121 Composition IF they pass a challenge test. Most students would move from successfully completing WR95 to WR115. Contact your instructor for more information.
