<p>I passed it but my roommate failed it and had to take the communications class last semester, he wasted a pass/fail on it and had a terrible time. </p>
<p>So don't take it as a joke =)</p>
<p>Is it really that bad of a class? Cause I’m not a great writer so I will prolly end up taking it…</p>
<p>I got my fingers crossed that i’ll make the cut
So the topic is gonna be something broad–like you would find on those dang SATs right?</p>
<p>Yes, the class is horrible, but that’s because I HATE writing classes… not that I’ve taken the class or anything, so take that with a grain of salt. Some people actually find the class helpful. </p>
<p>If I remember right one of the two topics last year was about copyright infringement and preventing it on college campuses, and we had to read like 7 articles on it and quote the articles in the paper. It sucked.</p>
<p>Basically, I had a topic (I think it was about music piracy), and they gave you some articles (like 1-2 pages each), and you had to write a paper, citing the article.</p>
<p>It’s actually not too bad if you can focus and work for like six hours over a weekend. That six hours is going to be a lot lot less time than taking the comm class.</p>
<p>Isn’t the COMM writing class helpful for people who do not feel they are good at writing essays?</p>
<p>i think half the people fail it. or atleast used to. So dont worry</p>
<p>Is it like the synthesis essay on the AP English Language exam? Do you have to use parenthetical citations?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That means half pass it, right? =]</p>
<p>Will we have to have a bibliography?</p>
<p>It’s just like a research paper, right?</p>
