ENG 110
College Writing I

Students learn to use writing and oral communication to develop their thinking and expression. They learn to read texts critically for both form and content. They practice different writing processes and rhetorical strategies in order to write essays that are purposeful, thoughtful, and coherent, and that conform to the conventions of standard written English. They understand writing as a social and collaborative process, both as a mode of individual expression and as a rhetorical act. At the end of this course, students will know how to write effective, college-level essays and how to include ideas from sources properly and effectively in their essays.
