Students whose writing is satisfactory fulfill this requirement with that paper. Students who do not fulfill the requirement in CCS 301 must submit to the major advisor a portfolio of papers written for subsequent upper-division courses taken for the major no later than the first semester of senior standing, and must achieve an evaluation of S (satisfactory) on the portfolio.
