The Writing Program
OFFICE: Building 410, University Center
Each student must complete a two-course sequence in Warren Writing
(10A and 10B) within four quarters (following successful completion
of the Subject A requirement). Note: Effective fall quarter 2000,
all new and continuing students are required to complete Warren writing
courses only at UCSD. The purpose of the sequence is to teach and thereby
enable students, through intensive practice, to read critically and
write appropriately in a variety of academic contexts. Classes are seminar-size
and center on discussion of student work.
The two-quarter sequence emphasizes written argumentation based on
primary and secondary sources. The curriculum provides a context within
which a diversity of cultural experiences is foregrounded to address
a range of issues inherent in the relationship of the Individual
and U.S. Society, the primary theme of the sequence. The readings
are accessible, scholarly writings that interrogate aspects of this
relationship, and may include novels, short stories, essays, autobiographies,
political documents, and book-length nonfictional treatments of the
theme. Thus, the writing and readings prepare students for their work
in various academic disciplines.
In both 10A and 10B, student writing is duplicated and discussed by
the class in a workshop setting. Instructors hold conferences with students
individually during the quarter and provide written and oral commentaries
on student work. Every student receives a mid-quarter evaluation, and
a final narrative evaluation is placed in the students academic
file. The minimum writing requirement is 8,000 words per quarter. Warren
Writing 10A and 10B are offered P/NP only, and students cannot test
out of this general-education requirement.
10A-10B. The Writing Course (4-4) A workshop
course in reading and writing required of all Warren College students.
The course emphasizes argumentation and critical writing based on sources.
Prerequisite: satisfaction of the university Subject A requirement.
