WRIT 111Inquiry and Academic Writing

Catalog

WRIT 111: Research & Writing guides students through the processes of producing argumentative writing in academic and public contexts. Students produce academic work that may lead to presentation or publication, and engage in civil discourse that make them more engaged citizens. The course treats writing as a process, emphasizes revision, and gives students opportunities to experiment with different argumentative genres, reinforcing the notion that writing conventions differ according to rhetorical situations. Assignments include a personal research narrative; an annotated bibliography; a proposal; a researched argument; a public opinion piece; and a Ted-Style talk oral presentation. ***Please Note: to ensure there are enough seats to accommodate all freshmen who wish to take it, WRIT 111 is restricted to freshmen only.*** WRIT 111 and WRIT 212 are equivalent courses and the credit or gen ed will not be duplicated.
