All Undergraduate Programs have a Writing Across the Curriculum Policy which means that you can expect to write at least 10 pages for each course. 30% of your grade will be determined by written assignments.
Written assignments can include, but are not limited to: discussion questions, case studies, essays, summaries, memos, lesson plans, journal entries, lab reports, project proposals, progress reports, and project reviews. The written assignment for this course will be found in this syllabus as well as on the course in Canvas.
