WR Courses for Sophomores/Juniors
Introductory English
Sophomores who have not taken any WR courses should consider one of the courses listed below, all of which welcome both freshmen & sophomores.
English 114 & 116: Academic Writing—writing college papers
English 115 & 117: Writing about Literature
English 120: Creative Non-fiction
English 125, 127, 129: Literature classes with writing emphasis
In your major area
If you've taken one WR course, we strongly recommend trying to take a second WR in an area close to your major: whether Humanities, Social Science, or Science. The best way to get updated WR information is to use the Online Course Information website. After choosing the semester you're interested in, be sure to choose "WR" in the list of choices at the bottom of the screen. If you leave everything else blank and click "Submit Search Request," you'll get a list of all WR courses for that term. You can also narrow your choices by department or by day/time.
WR Lecture Courses
The courses listed here are lecture courses where some or all of the discussion sections carry the WR designation. If you are interested in the topic, a WR section may be an effective way to improve your academic writing. Since these courses have less time to spend on writing skills, we recommend getting extra feedback on your papers, perhaps from a Writing Center Tutor. Note: Be sure to check with the professor to determine which sections fulfill the requirement.
