Meeting requirements

Okay so I am just going to ask about one specific course to answer a broad question.

  1. Spanish Composition II (4) Lecture—3 hours; extensive writing. Prerequisite: course 23 or 23S. Development of advanced level writing skills, with emphasis on how to write argumentative prose, essays, and research papers. Introduction to the analysis of literary genres. Compositions, journals, individual and group projects. Not open for credit to students who have completed course 24S. GE credit: WC, WE.—I, II, III. (I, II, III.)

Does this mean it meets the world culture and writing experience requirement or do I have to choose one of those?

It can potentially fulfill either of those requirements. You don’t need to choose a specific one to apply it to; the system will choose the one that benefits you the most when computing your GE units. But it can only apply to one of those at a given time (which can switch depending on the requirements other classes you take fulfill).

@PhantomVirgo okay, but could a class meet a topical breadth requirement and a core literacy requirement at the same time?

Yes. But it can only meet one topical breadth and one core literacy requirement at a time. So say a class fulfills SS, AH, WE, and WC: It can apply to one of SS and AH, and one of WE and WC.
