Instruction and practice in writing expository prose.
Students use word -processing software to write and revise essays.
The course is designed to help students improve their writing processes, to improve students critical thinking skills, to increase the organizational effectiveness of students writing, and to develop students awareness of the importance of context in writing. Engage in mature, independent thought and express that thought effectively in oral and written communication. ENG 101 helps students write clearer, better-organized prose and respond to the written discourse they will encounter in academia and in the world beyond the classroom. Students will discover the longstanding rhetorical traditions in Western culture that govern appropriate organization and presentation of writing for a given context, and students will begin to develop a critical perspective as they evaluate these features in the writing of others. Know the appropriate usage, mechanics, diction, voice, and style to use in a given text.
