Goals of the Writing Program All of the courses in the Writing Program help students to develop the skills in reading, writing, research, and critical thinking that they will need to succeed at the college level and in their chosen professions. Students in the Writing Program courses frequently critique one another's work and ideas and respond to peer criticism. EN102 and ID110 also introduce students to the interdisciplinary connections they will need to make in upper-level courses. EN215 is a prerequisite for 300-level Business Management courses. Additional writing assignments appropriate to the field are an integral part of many upper-level courses.
