Course Description
Writing is often seen as a method of communicating what we know. While that is an important function of writing, one that allows us to inform and persuade others, and one that we will discuss over the course of the semester, writing is also an important tool for inquiry. Writing is itself a means of learning, of figuring out what we believe, and of sorting through difficult issues while formulating, developing, and refining our ideas and arguments. Good writing is as much about quality thinking as it is about putting words down on the page.
Because the process of writing is similar whether you’re a novice or an expert, we may explore some concepts that you have addressed in the past, whether in high school or other college / university courses. However, I hope that this class gives you the opportunity to take the discoveries you have previously made and expand and enhance them.
It is also important to note that, practically speaking, this is a required course for all students who have demonstrated acceptable writing proficiency as measured by a standard test or satisfactory completion of ENG 090. This course will emphasize developing the student's ability to articulate his/her thoughts in writing a coherent, unified, and well-structured composition. The student will write a series of papers. The student will also learn the techniques needed to produce a library research paper. The required research paper is a major component of the course.
