Chapter9:Forms of College Writing

Did you know that writing helps you in two ways? 1. to learn course content & 2. to learn how to carry on a written dialogue with others in your line of work. It's very important that you know all the forms of writing. The purpose of this chapter is to show 3 important things about the writing curriculum:
1.) How a college curriculum & faculty are organized
2.)What kinds of writing you can expect to do in your courses
3.)How writing & thinking skills required in one class are linked to writing & thinking skills required in another class.
This chapter helps accomplish these tasks.
College curriculum is generally divided into 3 groups: humanities, social sciences, & natural & applied sciences.Then they are subdivided into biology, chemistry, & physics. Then you break it down such as humanities you have to think about what they study and what they examine and then jot down all the departments in the division such as: archeology, asian studies etc.
