USC Schedule of Classes

Fall 2020

Advanced Writing for Natural Sciences

Section 65000

  • Note: Given the nature of the writing curriculum and the workshop format of the class, joining a Writing 340 section after the second week of the semester places a student at a severe disadvantage in terms of the goals and requirements of the course. For this reason, requests to add 340 during the third week are usually denied. On the basis of extraordinary circumstances, a student may initiate an exception request in the relevant administrative office (at the Dornsife College Writing Program, the Marshall Center for Management Communication, or the Viterbi Engineering Writing Program); such requests require both administrative and instructor approval.
