Why is it necessary to take a written and oral communication course when students do a lot of writing in other courses?
AWOC classes are best taken during a student’s junior year. Even though there is writing in other courses (a good thing) the focus of the papers will be different. For example, most non-AWOC courses focus on the content of the particular subject; an AWOC course focuses on the writing process and gives students opportunities for multiple revisions, techniques in writing, etc.
