Integrated Reading & Writing

Catalog description

This course is designed to develop critical thinking by integrating reading, writing, and learning strategies. Emphasis is placed on critical reading skills necessary to understand complex college-level texts and write in response to them. Using a theme-based approach to readings, coursework will encourage students to read closely and independently in order to comprehend, summarize, analyze, and make connections between texts. Students will respond to reading through writing assignments that demand practice of paragraph and essay structure, as well as integration of quotations and citations in MLA format. Fundamental writing skills such as punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice are also covered. ENG 091: Integrated Reading and Writing may not be used to meet the General Education English requirement, nor do the credits apply toward a degree. Grade points earned in this course will not be computed into the student's GPA. Six lecture hours per week. Instructional Support Fee applies.
