ENG 101 - Introduction to Academic Writing

This is a developmental course designed to support students with the skills, strategies, and critical thinking necessary to approach college academic writing in English. Students will learn how to read and write effective essays in English using rhetorical strategies. Essay development will be practiced through pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing expository essays in response to college-level readings of increasing levels of difficulty. Students will focus on areas of specific need, including moderate grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and vocabulary instruction. Students will also be expected to communicate through oral presentations to develop fluency in vocabulary and pronunciation, in development and organization of ideas and in group discussion. This course is comprised of both lecture/recitation and writing laboratory sessions. This course does not fulfill the English requirement for the certificate or degree but may be used as an elective.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENG 098 with a grade of C or better or appropriate score on the initial layered intake and assessment
