Course Description

Language, reading, and writing are the foundations of human knowledge. This course facilitates the understanding and sharing of ideas by honing students’ accuracy, fluency, and rhetorical flexibility within the context of academic writing. In conjunction with our focus on language and writing, we will also explore the theme of learning and failure as it relates to language acquisition and writing. My hope is that this class will help you move from a novice to a more experienced scholar through practice, feedback, and self-assessment.
