<p>I guess… I never figured it out. I just did well. In the end, maybe because my CWRs were not English (they were religion, polisci, and history), the standards (as in ideal quality) pretty much seemed the same and the writing style seemed very flexible (almost as if they didn’t care as long as it was appropriate for the assignment type. For example, an expository writing essay and a research paper or critical precis will not have the same style or framework). The main difference is that some cared more or less for maintaining the traditional standards of “quality”. I tended to assume they were the highest possible until at least one assignment was graded. A lot of people assume that the course is easy so put in low effort on first assignment and are shocked if they don’t get an A grade or at least a B+ simply because of the assumption that humanities and social sciences are supposedly free A’s.</p>
