Foundations for College Writing

Catalog description

English 104 is a course designed to support your learning in ENG 110 . In this course you learn about the writing process and how it is shaped by a variety of factors, not the least of which is that you are taking it at Pace University. The labor of writing is a combination of efforts by more than just the author. Writing requires access to resources as well as planning. You’ll learn about and connect with at least four major writing resources – the Pace University Library, the Learning Commons, your instructor, and your peers. In other words, you will be learning about one major part of YOUR rhetorical situation: your university community. Using a combination of reading and writing strategies, you will use narration, description, comparison, and classification to learn both how the university functions and how that affects the choices you make as a writer.
