FWS ballot question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Where can I see the full list of FWS offered for Fall 09? It's better to get a comprehensive list that groups ALL FWS, and not by department or major.
Also, what time do we start balloting on July 30th?</p>

2

<p>it comes out on the 27th</p>

<p>and it doesnt really matter what time since its not first come first serve (i believe)</p>

3

<p>I believe we have like 8 days or something to fill out our ballots, it doesn’t matter when we do it just that we get them in.</p>

4

<p>If you search for classes on JTF and go to advanced search —> Keyword Match: FWS, you can actually get the full list now.</p>

5

<p>Whats JTF?</p>

6

<p>“Just the Facts”; Go to cornell.edu and just type in JTF into the search bar.</p>

7

<p><a href=“Cornell University Web Login”>https://fws.arts.cornell.edu/ballot/index.cfm&lt;/a&gt; just click list courses w/o changing any dept any time</p>

<p>or just go to studentcenter.cornell.edu</p>

<p>Should we ballot for an FWS even if we’re planning to take AP credit, on the off chance that we drop a class later?</p>

10

<p>…Or you can take an FWS to get it over with anyway since you need 2 and AP only takes care of 1…</p>

11

<p>Nah, I hate writing and would rather put it off until I’m more settled into college. Not get barraged by it as soon as I get there.</p>

12

<p>we need TWO FWS’s ???
is this for freshmen across campus or college-specific?</p>

13

<p>Pretty sure all freshmen do.</p>

14

<p>^^ All freshman need two: one in the fall, one in the spring.</p>

15

<p>^ False. You need 2 before you graduate, and one can be substituted by AP with 5 from Lang or Lit. I know seniors who take FWSes because they never got around to taking their second one.</p>

16

<p>ok so we definitely need TWO FWS’s (that’s 6 credits from FWS) to graduate?
sorry i was confused because the CALS requirement page only said
“6 credits of WRITTEN ENGLISH (e.g. 2 FWS’s)”
that e.g. was misleading</p>

17

<p>For CALS I believe if you take 1 AP for FWS, that means you still need something else to fulfill that part. I’m not sure though because I’m A&S.</p>

18

<p>engineering students can get out of one with a 5 on ap english lang or lit</p>

19

<p>…ANY student can get one out with 5 on Lang or Lit, just that for CALS I think you’re still obligated to some form of a writing class even if you get out of one FWS.</p>
