PWR 1 Course Equivalence

PWR 1 Course Equivalency

To be considered equivalent to a PWR 1 course, your course must have required:

• 7,500 to 9,000 words in writing spread over several substantial assignments;
• An analysis-based essay;
• A research-based argument (of at least 2400 words) incorporating at least 8 sources;
• An assignment that asks you to consider the “conversation” between sources on a topic (similar to a literature review);
• A drafting and revision stage with instructor feedback for all major assignments;
• One-to-one in-person meetings between the instructor and student for each major assignment;
• Consistent formal pedagogy/instruction related to writing integrated into the course.

These elements must have all been present in a single course; you cannot submit several classes together.
