Writing and Community

Catalog description

Students use writing to think critically and creatively about human experience as represented in literary, scholarly, and culturally relevant texts, as well as in their own experiences. Instruction emphasizes drafting, reading, and research strategies expected of college-level writers. Multiple assignments require revision processes to refine thinking and expression, to navigate genre expectations, and to reflect the habits and conventions of discourse communities, academic and others. Final portfolio required. Students may elect to complete ENG 101 in preparation for this course. This course partially satisfies general education curriculum standards for foundational intellectual skills in written communication.
