English Corequisite Lab

Catalog description

The writing lab will serve as a corequisite for ENG 111. The lab will focus on establishing vocabulary and critical reading skills, along with improving grammar and punctuation. An emphasis is placed on basic writing skills and writing as a process and method of discovering knowledge. Prewriting, multiple drafts, and revision will be discussed and practiced in detail. This class is designed to improve writing through extensive writing practice, discussions, workshops, and collaborative writing groups. The writing process, which is the core of the class, encourages students to discover, explore, share, test, and shape ideas through multiple drafting, practical applications, writing conferences, and workshops. Students will be expected to use the writing process and to work individually and collaboratively in writing groups.
