I am just wondering for those of you who are IDS major. How good do you have to be in writing and not making grammatical errors to be able to pass (C-) the classes that are required for this major. I have a friend who is in community college right now who aspires to transfer as an IDS major. However, his writing skill barely passes the first level of English of college level. His sentences, though complicated, hardly make sense.

Also, how good do you have to be in terms of having the ability to understand reading materials and utilize them for your essays? How hard is it to pass the IDS classes?

Thanks
