Course Description:
Writing Across Cultures is a 4.5-credit writing course for learners of English as an additional language that also fulfills the AHq Core Requirement. Students in this course will explore cultural concepts within various texts on cultural studies, sociology, language studies, fiction, poetry, and personal narrative. They will compose a detailed multimodal portrait of the ways an author’s cultural identity relates to communication as well as a self-portrait reflecting upon their own personal linguistic and cultural journeys.
Students successfully completing EAP I (356:155) continue into EAP II (356:156) before enrolling in either College Writing (355:101) or College Writing Extended (355:104) to fulfill the WC core requirement.
Dropping this Course:
As a course that is preparatory for the WC core learning goal requirement, EAPI cannot be dropped from a student's course schedule. This is true both during the semester’s initial Add/Drop period and later when students may withdraw from other courses with a ‘W’.
The Writing Program cannot provide a student with an SPN to drop a course without permission from an advising dean in the student's college. Advising deans who grant requests to drop courses will contact the Writing Program directly to obtain the necessary SPN.
If you have experienced an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, please make an appointment with the Office of the Dean of Students – Student Support area. That office can document your emergency and direct you to the appropriate resources in the Writing Program and elsewhere in the University. Please note that contacting the Office of the Dean of Students will not automatically result in permission to drop College Writing Extended.
