FYC courses should focus on writing, not on content.
American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) grades colleges on what is taught in Core courses. SCience should be taught by scientists and not philosophers, for example. Composition courses must focus on grammar, style, and argument and not on unrelated content.
There are other ways of teaching literature and history, but only one way to teach writing.
