Course Description

This course is intended to build your writing skills in organization, coherence, and development. The class is centered on American academic writing and will prepare students for liberal arts college writing and research. The writing in this course will include a variety of genres, including personal narrative, critical response and research. Much of this writing will involve analyzing sources and synthesizing ideas. Grammar and writing mechanics will be reviewed and taught as needed, and you will complete pre and post-tests.
