Writing Tutorial

Catalog description

Offers intensive individual and group work in the practice of expository writing for those students whose competency examination reveals the need for additional, foundational writing instruction. The course aims to better prepare admitted transfer students for the rigorous work they will have to complete in either Writing the Essay or an International Writing Workshop. The course concentrates on foundational work (grammar, syntax, paragraph development) leading to the creation of compelling essays (idea conception and development, effective use of evidence, understanding basic forms, and the art of persuasion). Passing this course with a C or better fulfills the Proficiency Exam requirement. To contact EWP or view syllabi visit our website: http://www.nyu.edu/cas/ewp/index.html
