Why must I complete developmental courses before taking college-level composition courses?
No, students do not earn credit for developmental writing courses. However, these preparatory courses are often necessary for college success. Students placed in developmental English courses often times have had negative experiences in English courses and have avoided writing. Others may have forgotten necessary writing proficiencies. While others could be strong writers who tested poorly in grammar and sentence skills on the placement test. For these students, taking EN 001 and/or EN 002 is an opportunity to gain the necessary skills for successful college-level writing.
