Fundamentals of College Writing

Catalog description

ENGL 0199: Fundamentals of College Writing is an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) English course that allows students to take the ENGL 0199 course concurrently with Composition I, to accelerate remediation into one semester. English 0199 students develop processes for critically reading, writing, and responding to a variety of texts in order to compose clear, concise essays in Composition I. The course facilitates the development of writing skills with an emphasis on purpose, audience, content, structure, style, and documentation methods. In ENGL 0199, students will evaluate and reflect on their own writing while they study language in the context of academic discourse. Students learn important skills to be active and collaborative participants in their own education and the greater learning community. ENGL 0199 presents students with strategies to recognize their learning strengths and weaknesses and to equip them for success in the English classroom, in the college culture, and beyond. Students must receive a passing grade of a C or better in ENGL 0199 to receive a passing grade in the co-enrolled Composition I course.
