ENGWRT 0020 - COLLEGE WRITING 2


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
College Writing II expands and reinforces the critical reading and writing skills developed in College Writing I. A passing grade (C or better) in College Writing I (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution is the prerequisite for this course. Outlier.org's College Writing I course focused on the argumentative or expository essay. Students were introduced to the mechanics of academic writing (close reading, asking analytic questions, forming a thesis, summarizing, developing an introduction, structuring an outline, doing research, practicing grammar, etc.), culminating in an original, argumentative essay. Students who successfully completed College Writing I have a solid understanding of three argumentative essay genres: the close reading essay, the comparative analysis essay, and the multi-source research paper. The foundational skills established in College Writing I will be further developed in College Writing II as students become more acquainted with creative forms of composition and an advanced approach to academic research
