Writing
Writing well is the hallmark of an educated person, and is indispensable to advanced research in most disciplines. In leading students beyond merely recording other people's knowledge to making their own critical contributions, writing fosters and supports the intellectual practices that distinguish active from passive learners. All students are required to take two courses that focus on writing clearly and cogently. Courses that fulfill this requirement are designated WR in the YCPS. Over 150 courses, spanning more than fifteen different academic departments, may be applied toward the WR requirement. The English department in particular offers many courses that provide special attention to writing skills. |
