Lower Division

Concurrently
WRIT 100, WRIT 101, or any WRIT 200 course

The WRIT Labs help support WRIT 100, WRIT 101, and all WRIT 200 courses, as well as other first-year courses that have significant writing requirements and would give multilingual students a better chance of succeeding in all of their courses. Students will gain greater fluency in written English; understanding of course expectations at Saint Mary’s regarding writing; increased proficiency in English grammar and vocabulary; better understanding of the stages of assembling an essay (including thesis formation, overall essay organization, paragraph development, and effective sentence construction) through focused work on each stage; and better writing habits gained through practice in assessing writing assignments across the disciplines, setting writing schedules, brainstorming and drafting techniques, and revising essays.
