can anyone tell me if the banjo is written transposed?


According to my book (p. 337) the banjo sounds an octave below the written pitch regardless of tuning, number of strings etc. This is important for the not-infrequent occasions where the instrument is used in classical music--works by Thomson, Crumb, etc.
