University Writing (C1010 for CC or SEAS students; F1010
for GS students) is intended to facilitate students' entry into the
intellectual life of the university by helping them to become more
capable and independent academic readers and writers. With its small
section size and emphases on critical analysis, revision,
collaboration, and research, the course leads students to develop
specific skills and general habits of mind important to their future
academic success. Students read and discuss texts from a number of
fields, complete regular informal reading and writing exercises, write
several longer essays, and undertake a collaborative critical project
of their own design. Because many of the readings and assignments
encourage students to think explicitly about such issues as the nature
and meaning of liberal education, student life, and the structure of
academic disciplines and curricula, the course also helps students new
to Columbia to frame their experiences of the university and the Core
Curriculum.
GS students generally take University Writing
in their first semester of enrollment. CC or SEAS students placed in
C1010 whose names fall in the first part of the alphabet take the
course in the fall. CC or SEAS students whose names fall in the second
part of the alphabet take the course in the spring. The alphabet will
be split somewhere between K and P; the exact place of the split will
be posted before fall registration.
