Introduction to Composition

Catalog description

Designed to prepare students for ENG 110 and general academic writing, ENG 020 emphasizes critical reading techniques, writing for a college environment, and basic research skills. Through frequent writing assignments and feedback sessions, students develop fundamental skills in paragraph writing and in gathering sources for various disciplines. Grammar and punctuation proficiency are also emphasized in sentence drills, online assignments, assessment surveys, and essay rubrics. As a college-preparatory course, ENG 020 does not count toward graduation, does not earn college credit, and does not count in GPA calculations.
