Rutgers says 355:104 shares the same curriculum as College Writing, but the extra weekly meeting means the class usually feels more demanding on time.

Official requirements include multiple writing projects, drafting, revision, and daily assignments, and student discussion often describes the rewriting as time-consuming.

The course still follows a first-year writing progression, but the third weekly meeting creates a more structured and persistent pace across the semester.

Grades are driven by writing projects such as a reflective essay, argument map, argumentative essay, and multimodal composition.

The official course requirements are organized around projects, drafts, and feedback rather than exams.

College Writing Extended is a reading-and-writing course with no official quantitative component.

Students need to apply feedback and rhetorical strategies repeatedly, but the course is more process-oriented than recall-oriented.

The curriculum asks for argument and reflection, but it is still an introductory composition course aimed at building foundational habits.

Placement determines who takes 355:104, but the course itself is designed as an entry WC option rather than one needing advanced prior coursework.

Students must read closely enough to support several writing projects, though the official emphasis is more on writing process than on very heavy text volume.
