What is a Writing Proficiency course and how does it differ from other courses?
All WWU students must complete a minimum of three writing proficiency (WP) points in approved writing proficiency courses at WWU with a minimum grade of C-. Approved courses are indicated in the Timetable and on Classfinder by an attribute of WP1, WP2, or WP3. Writing Proficiency courses extend Westerns commitment to the development of writing that begins in the freshman year. They are designed so that students engage in writing multiple drafts of assigned papers in order to learn the writing style and conventions of their disciplines.
