At York College we’re actively discussing our composition/writing sequence as part of a general education reform effort. I’m hoping this group can help me put this work in a CUNY context.
Please share your current composition requirements, including credits/contact hours. Please indicate if one of your comp courses is comp+lit, and if you also have an introduction to literature requirement in the core. If you also have WAC/WID requirements you know about, please share. Lastly, please indicate the administrative location/structure for your writing curriculum – if you know it.
