<p>i'm thinking of enrolling in an economics-based freshman writing seminar. its been an area of study that has always interested me but i have really limited experience in the field (i've never taken an econ class in my life). do you think there are any prerequisites to these writing seminars? would i be better off taking one that i have more background experience with?</p>
<p>The writing seminars are totally about developing/improving your writing. They don’t require any background knowledge regardless of the subject. Nothing to worry about- take any that sounds interesting and has a professor with good reviews (ideally).</p>
<p>I would agree with Pancaked. And apply as soon as registration opens for you–the most interesting writing seminars fill very quickly, as my D learned last year.</p>
