First, off you should decide whether it's a good idea to appeal. Writing 20 may be your best option; it's specifically designed for people lucky enough to speak multiple languages, and will work on other skills as well, like organization and development. There are no books and the papers are short, so it will leave you time for your other classes. The worst possible outcome is to barely pass ELWR, struggle in Writing 2 and then get low grades in all the other courses that involve writing. When you get into upper division classes, Scantron bubble tests will disappear and essay exams and term papers become much more common, so you want to get all the writing training you can get. After Wr 2, there's only one writing class, and it is not taught by writing teachers, so how much instruction you get is going to vary wildly. If you are not sure, discuss the decision with your instructor (some may not have access to email at times during the break, but it's worth a try). | First, off you should decide whether it's a good idea to appeal.

Ways to Fulfill the Requirement at UCSC
Main site: General information on the requirement]
Writing 22A is a 3-unit class which offers instruction on selected topics in grammar and conventions of written English as needed to strengthen the writing skills of students whose primary language is not standard English. The course provides students practice in applying these concepts to editing their own writing (that is, you typically work on papers from your other classes, as opposed to writing new ones). Designed for entering first-year students, enrollment limited to 22. You can go to any section; if there's not room, they can tell you if another section has any. These fill up quickly, so don't delay.
