| 1101 is the first semester of the two semester General Studies Composition requirement. This course uses frequent writing assignments and intensive class workshops to teach expository writing, including the basics of grammar, logical techniques of argument, and rhetorical considerations. You will also become familiar with research techniques, including the use of the library, the conventions and principles of documentation, the art of synthesis, and analysis of sources. This course should not only give you confidence in your own writing ability, but should also make you critically aware of the role writing and language play in shaping the world around us. |
