Current Course Description: Combines instruction in research skills with the production of essays utilizing research, including traditional library research, internet research, documentation styles, and forms of researched writing. Prerequisite: WR 135 or equivalent.

New Course Description: Combines instruction in writing on issues in the sciences with strategies for researching scientific material. Focus is placed on finding, evaluating, and utilizing library and electronic resources along with developing strategies for understanding, analyzing, and making scientific arguments. Students will also become familiar with documentation styles used in science writing. Prerequisite: WR 135 or equivalent.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): WR 222 is primarily taught as a course in science writing designed to meet the requirements/needs of pre-nursing and other majors in the sciences. Changing the course will align existing course content with the course name and catalogue description.

Students/Program affected: Pre-nursing majors and writing minors.
