Freshman Required Courses

<p>you can’t pick your WRIT 140 teacher, they’re randomly assigned, so it would be pointless for me to recommend any. </p>

<p>I didn’t really work very hard in the class, got a B+. I have a feeling that I would have gotten an A with a different/easier teacher, but I wouldn’t have enjoyed the class as much. I’ll take the lower grade and an enjoyable time in class over an A and hating it, though. But I came out of the IB Diploma, where there is a fair amount of writing, especially in IB English. Also, IB writing tends to align more or less with WRIT 140 writing, while the writing I did for AP was more formulaic. But I don’t want to make this into an IB vs AP debate, I’m just trying to say that I came into the class well prepared. </p>

<p>You can’t really prepare for the class. Try not to leave assignments to the last minute and maybe go to the writing center. Oh, and conference with your teacher as much as you can, that will probably be the most helpful thing to do.</p>
