Writing

Catalog description

ENGL1010 is a 4-credit course that satisfies the freshman writing requirement and should be taken in the fall or spring of the first year. The purpose of English 1010 is to teach students to write clearly and to organize complex arguments that engage in a scholarly way with expert knowledge. Students learn to conduct independent bibliographic research and to incorporate that material appropriately into clear, complex, coherent arguments that characterize academic discourse. Students with an AP credit score of 4 or 5 or an IB credit score of 6 or 7 in English do not have to take ENGL 1010 . Questions should be directed to the student advisor and the Director of Freshman Writing in the Department of English.
