Teaching CO300 Writing Arguments

Print-Friendly Page

When the University adopted its most recent core curriculum in the mid-1990s, COCC300 was approved as meeting two core categories: 2A - Advanced Communication and 2B - Logic/Critical Thinking. Students cannot use COCC300 to fulfill requirements in both categories, so about half of the students in the course now take the course to fulfill category 2B - Logic/Critical Thinking.

As a department, we have an obligation to be sure that each section of COCC300 conforms to the description approved by the University Curriculum Committee. Links below capture key elements of the University core description of and expectations for COCC300.
