ENGW 101 - College Writing I: Exposition

The first of two courses in a first-year writing program designed to help students develop and hone their written communication skills. This course emphasizes writing as a recursive process and requires students to negotiate rhetorical problems that allow practice for writing variious audiences and purposes. Such purpose-driven writing instruction teaches students that they are entering varying discourse communities (with varying expectations for style, tone,organization, development and content) depending on what they are writing and for whom. This awareness, coupled with intense practice at all stages of the writing process, prepares students to write productively and appropriately in their concurrent and future courses. Furthermore, the skills developed in this course will be expanded further next semester in ENGW 102, College Writing II.
