<p>I would only list Expos where you can list “college courses taken”. I would not make a big deal of it, as if it were a special project.</p>
<p>btw I unfortunately agree with this statement: “But the prof. was very nice and treated me like an adult, while high school teachers are generally mean and unhelpful”. As an adult, I see how many high school teachers are quite rude to students, in general. My son has had good experiences with nearly all his instructors at Rutgers.</p>
<p>To new readers of this thread: getting help early on at the writing center is very good advice. They have tutors who will go through your paper and make suggestions. The first 2 papers do not count. Always write the requested amount of pages. Always follow the edit recommendations of the instructor.</p>
<p>Do the work in a timely manner. Do not wait until the night before to write your paper. Take notes in class, because the instructors will make good points about the essays and give you hints on what to write.</p>
Well Okayyy I took English Composition 101 at a community College… and I am taking AP Literature this year but if I don’t get a 4, Will I be able to skip Expository??
No. Only a 4 or 5 on an AP English test (either one) will get you out of Expos.
“Once a student matriculates at SAS, writing courses must be completed at Rutgers–New Brunswick. Transfer credit for 01:355:101 is not awarded except to transfer students. However, the two-part writing sequences from Rutgers–Camden and Rutgers–Newark may still substitute for 01:355:101, provided that both courses are passed before matriculating at SAS.”
They are much more strict about Expos than other courses.
"The Rutgers Placement Tests determine the courses you are eligible to take in writing, math and foreign languages. All incoming first year students at SAS are required to take placement testing (see exemptions below).
Students with a Critical Reading SAT score of 600 or higher or an ACT English score of 30 or higher (by the January 2016 test) are exempt from completing the English portion of the testing and will automatically be placed into Expository Writing.
Students who completed the AP exam in English Lang/Comp, English Lit/Comp, or Calculus AB or BC with a score of 4 or 5 in junior year, do not have to complete the placement test in that subject, but must arrange to have the AP scores sent to Rutgers from the College Board.
