Hi Carolyn,
MMW 1 - Area 3B/MMW 2 - Area 1A/MMW 3 - Area 1B
UCSD has a very intensive writing series that all students are
required to take. Based on the information provided by the
faculty, I would certify this area. Feel free to get me or
Jennifer involved if you run into any issues. Also, as a
precaution, send an email to the student with an explanation of
why this was allowed, in case they are questioned upon
matriculation.
Thanks for checking,
Dawn Sheibani

Hi Dawn,
I'm looking for your expertise and guidance for this student:
Student attended UCSD for 3 quarters, History major, now is at
Cabrillo College and wants to transfer to UCSB, UCSC or UCB
using IGETC.
She is adamant that her MMW 3 - Medieval Heritage course had
the critical thinking component that would fulfill IGETC. It
is the 3rd in the series for their Reading and Composition
requirement.
My initial reaction was that it couldn't be used - but the
attached letter from the director of the program states that in
MMW 2 and MMW3 "students receive forty hours of intensive
instruction in university-level argumentative writing and
critical thinking" - to include "argumentation, rhetorical
analysis, use of evidence ..
So now I'm questioning my decision, and I'm wondering "what
would Dawn say?"
thank you!
