This course will expose students to the broad range of writing they may encounter at the college level, using a variety of essay development strategies and writing contexts, with special attention to audience and purpose. Students will develop their ability to identify and correct common sentence-level errors in their own writing. In addition, students will be introduced to basic methods for incorporating ideas of others into their writing, as well as thinking and reading critically.
