Let \(C\) be a smooth curve of genus \(g\), and let \(C_n\) be the \(n\)-th symmetric product of \(C\) parameterizing divisors of \(C\) of degree \(n\). When \(C\) has general moduli, one can impose exceptional secant conditions to linear series on \(C\) of fixed degree and dimension to obtain Brill-Noether loci in \(C_n\). When such loci have codimension-one, the author calculates their divisor classes, which gives improved bounds for the slope of the effective cone of \(C_n\). When the moduli of \(C\) varies, the author also calculates the corresponding divisor classes in the moduli space of stable \(n\)-pointed genus \(g\) curves.
