ENGWRT 0010 - COLLEGE WRITING 1

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is an introduction to the skills and conventions of academic reading and writing. It centers on the close reading of sources, constructing compelling arguments, and marshaling evidence and secondary sources. Students will become intimately acquainted with every stage of the writing process - from pre-writing exercises, through revisions and rough drafts, to crafting a polished final essay. This course will offer students a "writing toolbox" of transferable skills which will aid them in their future college classes in the humanities and social sciences but also in their chosen careers. While the academic essay is the focal point of the course, students will be encouraged to integrate expository skills into their daily lives as writers who craft emails and Twitter posts, pitch business plans, and write resumes and cover letters. Throughout the course of the term, the instructor will invite esteemed writers and editors to answer questions about the challenges and future of great writing.
