WRIT 100:Intro to Academic Writing
Writing 100 teaches writing in the context of reading and thinking about the diversity of American society. The course helps students to learn to write and write to learn. In learning to write, students learn to manipulate and negotiate the genres and conventions of academic discourse. In writing to learn, students develop process-based approaches to writing including invention, revision, and reflection.
Writing 100G teaches writing in the context of reading and thinking about the diversity of American society. This course parallels Writing 100 but is designed for students who did not learn English as their first language. As with WRIT 100, its main focus is on using writing as a tool for clarifying thinking, establishing a process-based approach to writing, developing critical reading skills and constructing arguments. Additionally, students will focus on the cultural conventions of academic writing and develop and apply an increasingly complex range of language. Students write both formally and informally and, as with Writing 100, "write to learn." Students must complete the course with a C or better before moving on to Writing 101.
