Since CS/IT285 no longer requires papers, this page only provides general information on the WPE.
The WPE requirement can be filled in two ways: taking a timed exam, or submitting a writing portfolio as well as a new essay based on a prompt from the Writing Proficiency office. Taking the timed test means you can disregard everything below; just show up for the test and be done with it. If you are not great at timed assessments or writing, you will probably want the portfolio option. Only one paper is allowed from each class). Certain students are eligible to do a digital version of the portfolio known as EWRAP. See more WPE details here.
