One of the many things I am stressing about right now.
Upper-Division Writing Requirement
In the semester preceding the semester in which the student expects to graduate, he or she shall submit to the director of undergraduate studies two papers, each written for a different instructor in an upper-division English course, together with the instructor's written confirmation that the paper demonstrates suitably advanced writing proficiency. The departmental course descriptions for the forthcoming semester regularly specify those courses in which students may satisfy this requirement. The student must notify the instructor before the paper is turned in to him or her that it is intended to satisfy this requirement in addition to the course requirements. A student anticipating or experiencing difficulty in satisfying this requirement should seek the advice of the director of undergraduate studies no later than the beginning of the semester before the one in which the student expects to graduate.
Things I have not done for this requirement:
- I'm hoping to graduate in May, and I haven't handed in any papers for this.
- I never told a professor prior to handing in a paper that I wanted to use it for this.
- Because I have bad saving habits, I have exactly two papers, both of which are at home, that I could use to satisfy this requirement. Unfortunately, the instructor for one of them is in the Mid-West right now so she can't fill out the necessary forms. If we can use print-outs of the paper that are clean, with no grade or comments on them, then I have the requisite two, though one is still at home. And that paper is from a class I took like 3 years ago, so I'm pretty sure the prof has no clue who I am.
- The last day of classes is May 4th.
- I have not spoken to the director whatsoever about this.
