What it covers

Writing for different readers and purposes. Students draft and revise major writing projects, with invention and drafting activities and short review quizzes leading into each one, across six modules.

How the grade is built

Writing projects60%
Invention activities15%
Drafting activities15%
Review quizzes10%

From ASU's posted syllabus for the Fall C 2026 section. Weights can change between sessions; the syllabus for your section is the one that counts. A C usually starts near 70%, the line for adding the credit.

How the deadlines work

Open access with scheduled deadlines: everything is available from day one and work can be done early, but each assignment has a due date to keep to. The final draft submission for each project opens five days before it is due.

In a session-based course, work can finish early but the grade is finalized only after the session ends; an on-demand course posts in the session the student finishes. Either way, ASU's syllabi give up to a year after finishing to decide whether to add the credit ($400 to ASU, only with a C or better).
