<p>At Dartmouth about one-third of the class does not have to take the basic freshmen writing class. Anyone with a 780CR or a combination of CR/WR in the high 700’s. Some, also score related, must take 2 more remedial courses instead of the one freshmen writing class. Whether you had to take the freshmen writing course or not everyone must take a writing intensive freshmen seminar. None of these classes are taught by TAs.</p>
