This course introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity. Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of others, and to treat writing as recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses and are introduced to fundamental skills of information literacy. Students work individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing development. Placement into this course is determined by multiple measures, including high school achievement and SAT scores. 4.000 Credit hours.
Successful completion of English Composition fulfills a requirement in the CAS Core Curriculum and the WCHP Common Curriculum.
Through the ENG110 course students are challenged academically with reading and writing. Students learn how to incorporate their thoughts with others’ ideas. Students learn to work together to improve their own work and each others’ with critical thinking and peer review. Writing and reading skills will improve through the critical thinking skills taught in class. In class we read multiple texts that made us think more in depth and either challenge or back up our thinking with other’s work. Our communication skills also developed as we worked together.
