<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I'm thinking about ENWR 2600 to satisfy the writing requirement. Since I'm an international student, I'm kind of worried about those writing stuff. Have any of you taken this class before? Should I take sth else next semester? Thanks</p>
<p>You can’t take fiction writing to satisfy any writing requirements because the both the first and the second writing requirement require classes with non-fiction papers.
With that said, I took fiction writing. It was a great class, but it was hard to write quality stories on a deadline for me personally.</p>

<p>thanks for the reply, so how many writing assignment you got every week?</p>
<p>btw, what’s the textbook for the course? Thanks alot!</p>
<p>gogouva - This should help. Note the caveat that professors are still modifying the required materials.</p>

<p>I didn’t have a textbook. We had 2 stories to write (10 page ones) over the course of the semester (one due in the first half and one due in the second half), and reading and reviewing all the other stories (3-4 people had stories due every week so we would read all of those for the next week). Every grad student teaches it differently.</p>
<p>If you want an expository writing class that is one notch up from ENWR 1510, think about whether you want to focus on literary topics or not. If you like reading and thinking about what you read, look at the ENLT offerings; topics vary from class to class, but they are all small discussion-based classes that satisfy the second writing requirement. They are designed for students who are interested in literature or in possibly majoring in English. Another option is CPLT/ENGL 2020 which is a course in masterpieces of European literature from about the Renaissance to now. If you are more interested in expository writing without the literature angle, check out ENWR 3800, Academic and Professional Writing.</p>
