<p>I found their site a little confusing. It says 11-15 Q/R credits, but then says 10 must be writing other than English comp. Confusion!!</p>
<p>And which classes meet this requirement?</p>
<p>What do you mean by Q/R? Do you mean QSR? If so, QSR and writing credits are two different things. QSR are your math, science or other classes that involving “Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning” (marked QSR on the time schedule). Writing courses are any classes marked with a “W” on the time schedule.</p>
<p>Oops, I did mean qsr. And writing is listed under that requirement…maybe for the reasoning part?</p>
<p>quantitative and symbolic reasoning credits are completely different from writing credits. just search through the time schedule to find courses that are writing courses, you’ll need 2 of them. in addition to those you’ll need to bore yourself with one composition (C) class. most people take ENG 111/121/131 or C Lit 240, though there may be a couple others.</p>
<p>How do you tell If they’re writing courses from the time schedule?</p>
<p>Also a more specific question.
I am in high school now, taking UW extension classes in Spanish and English. I took 131 last semester and am now taking 111 (that’s just the way our school’s program is set up). However looking at the course catalog, it says students cannot take both 131 and 111. Does this mean I will have to take two additional writing courses once I get to UW?</p>
<p>Hi. I noticed that you have an awful lot of questions on this board. You may want to consider talking with a UW advisor, as they can answer all of your questions in one big swoop. Also, when you go to orientation, almost all of your questions will be answered.</p>
<p>Also, you should consider browsing around the UW website, almost all of your questions can be answered there with a search.</p>
<p>For example, for this query from the uw website, I typed in “writing credit”
The first link there was : [UW</a> Advising - Additional Writing Requirement](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/degreeplanning/writreqs.php]UW”>http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/degreeplanning/writreqs.php)</p>
<p>You might want to use the search field for most of your questions</p>
<p>Oh trust me, I searched the UW website–I think I said in my question that I thought the web info was confusing. And I thought all my questions were pretty typical and so the rest of CC could benefit from my asking them. Also, emailing UW advisers usually takes about 5 days for a response with my experience 
sorry if I’m annoying you though.</p>
<p>Oh no annoyance at all. it’s just with the amount of questions you have, I know I would like the benefit of talking to an adviser and getting them addressed right away.</p>
<p>Too bad that it takes 5 days! It usually takes me 1-2, but it’s been awhile so maybe their busy.</p>
<p>Do you live in the Seattle area? if you call 206-543-2550 to set up a 30 min advising appointment. Or you can stop by anytime between 9-4:30 m-f and they can answer any quick questions.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info! Yeah, I think they’re probably pretty busy since everyone just got their admission letters and everything. Maybe I’ll call that number, thanks! It’s pathetic but I REALLY hate writing so that’s why I’m asking this question haha</p>
<p>The type of class is indicated by a letter or letters to the right of the course name in parenthesis. QSR- Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning, VLPA- Visual Literary and Performing Arts, NW- Natural World, I&S- Individuals and Societies, C- Composition. You might have to check the course descriptions for if it’s writing or not, but generally if the class grade is based partly on paper writing, you’ll probably get writing credits for it.</p>
<p>Is there a list of courses that qualify for the Additional Writing requirement?</p>
<p>Try this: [General</a> Education Course Search](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/students/timeschd/genedinq.html]General”>University of Washington Time Schedule)</p>
<p>I’m not sure if the list is comprehensive, as I took a class last quarter that I thought got me writing credits that isn’t on there.</p>
<p>Thanks spaceneedle! That’s really helpful. So it looks like a “writing” course can be in almost any subject where you write a few papers…that’s comforting. </p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about the CLUE center, like if you go there with classes or individually…maybe either/or?</p>
