Does the fact that SC is an English Department course mean that most assignments will require students to write about literature (short stories, poetry, novels, or plays)?
All SC sections require some critical writing about written texts, but the actual material assigned can vary widely. Some sections do include assignments about short stories, poetry, novels, or plays. Others focus on writing about nonfiction prose. Some sections include frequent opportunities for students to write about their own writing and that of other students. In addition to requiring writing about written texts, certain sections also provide opportunities to write about audio or visual material or about more direct life experiences.
