College Writing ((3,4 Credits))

Catalog description

College writing focuses on the basics of academic writing: writing processes, essays, research skills. Students will write and evaluate thesis statements for essays, and learn how to develop the thesis idea with supporting details. Students will learn how to structure ideas and information in essays. Students will learn how to research, incorporate, and document sources to support a thesis argument. Depending on their goals and needs, students may take any of five different, introductory, college writing courses: ( COMW 1005 ), ( COMW 1015 ), (COMW 1010), ( COMW 2005 ), or (COMW 2020). Although all of these courses deal with similar skills and knowledge (writing process, thesis, support, documentation), they have different emphases. Note that, according to college policy, students can include up to 8 introductory-level expository/college writing credits in their ESC degree.
