The course improves students' writing prior to enrollment in College Composition I. A writing test determines student placement. Students' progress is evaluated on the basis of a portfolio of their semester's work. Emphasizing prose style, this intermediate course gives special attention to audience, tone, diction, and ultimately, to the evolution of a personal voice.
