<p>I can place out of the Entry Level Writing as well as both parts of R&C.</p>
<p>Would taking an advanced writing course be worth it? Does those courses make you a really strong writer ( a course such as 110, etc) ? Because if they do, it would be advantageous to take them as it is a life skill. . ..right?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I was in the same position. The R&C courses are useless, but I took them anyway as GPA boosters, and to keep my writing skills fresh while taking science classes. I’d do it again, too-- it was easy and worth it.</p>
<p>The upper division writing classes here are difficult, but helpful. You’ll likely learn a lot, but your GPA might suffer as a consequence. It’s up to you. Chances are, if you passed out of both parts of R&C, you’re already a good enough writer for “life.”</p>
