<p>question on the HUM core requirement – I read somewhere that there is writing instruction/lab/something that goes along with it. Is this accurate? Is Hum the class where there is some instruction in academic writing? I know that everyone going to UC should be a good writer – but I am assuming that part of the Core is some instruction in college level academic writing, particularly since the academic background of all the incoming students will vary.</p>
<p>If HUM has instruction in academic writing, it seems that it would be critical to take those classes first year is you are pursuing a major other than math/science</p>
