- A student may use any
300-level Economics elective or Economics 272 to satisfy the
requirement.
- The course must be taken
no earlier than the Spring semester of the student's sophomore year and
no later than the Spring semester of the junior year.
- A course instructor will evaluate
a student's writing for purposes of fulfilling the JWR only if
specifically requested to do so by the student.
- Students may request that a past
course taken during a qualifying semester be considered for the JWR
if they can provide the course instructor with the original copies
of their graded writing assignments for the course.
- If a student passes the
junior writing requirement, the instructor should email that information
to the Department Chair and CC the student. The Department Chair passes
that information on to the English Writing Program Office when requested
to do so (typically near the end of each academic year).
- There can be a
considerable time lag until the completion of the requirement shows up on
student transcripts, but the email that students receive is sufficient
evidence that they have met the requirement.
It is therefore advisable for
students to retain the email that they receive.
- Students who fail to
satisfy the requirement by the end of their junior year must, during
their senior year: (1) take and pass an appropriate English Writing
course at Occidental College, and (2) be deemed as having written
satisfactorily in either Economics 490 or 495.
- Double majors may satisfy
the requirement under whichever major they choose.
