This assessment will identify students early in the curriculum with potential difficulties in classroom writing assignments, written papers, and in the writing necessary to complete the research project. It is also the goal for all students in the School of Allied Health Professions to attain a WGR score of 5 upon graduation. Any student scoring 3 or below on the WGR will be advised to take English remediation as a strategy to help attain a strong academic standing. LLU does offer English writing remedial courses, however, other community courses will be acceptable. Remediation is not intended as a punitive measure, but as a retention strategy for those entering the program with weak English writing ability.
All classes are three quarter units of credit.
