ENG 101 - English Composition I: The Writing Seminar (3)

Prerequisite: The student must demonstrate adequate basic skills before enrolling in ENG 101.

This course will introduce students to the practice and process of expository writing. Students will navigate the stages of formal writing projects, from initial planning to the final edit. They will identify and develop techniques to convey their ideas clearly and develop them convincingly. In doing so, they will become more intentional writers, more keenly aware of what they are doing on the page at all times, and why. Students will sharpen their ability to think critically by studying how texts work, learning to read a text for the deliberate rhetorical choices made during the writing process, and then working to solve problems themselves on the page. This work will hone their composition skills, improving their style and grammar and giving them more control and confidence as writers, in college and beyond.
