Writing Intensive Courses


Writing Intensive courses at SCC include multiple writing assignments for a variety of audiences, and the writing generated in these courses contributes significantly (30-%-50%) to the students’ final grade. Instructors in these courses use both informal, low-stakes writing assignments and formal assignments requiring multiple drafts. Further, WIC instructors will provide substantive feedback on student writing that helps students improve in clarity, precision, accuracy, correctness, depth, and organization as appropriate within the discipline. Once a course is designated as WIC, every section of the course is writing intensive, regardless of who teaches it, in what format it is taught, and who enrolls in the class.

English 111 is a prerequisite for each writing-intensive course. Students should take the ENG class required for their program and transfer goals. Prerequisites for BUS 260  and OST 286  will be ENG 110  or ENG 111 .

The following is a list of all Writing Intensive Courses for each Associate Degree program.
