Catalog Description:

Prepares students for the rigor and practice of college writing and critical thinking. Emphasis is on the essay form, on the reciprocal

processes of clear writing and analytical reading. Students will both analyze model essays and write a sequence of essays that build

toward a rhetorical repertoire; toward an ability to use the language with nuance, clarity, and appropriateness of expression; and

toward a foundation in research skills. Students will be taught to incorporate and respect other voices through integration of

quotations, standard principles of documentation, and avoidance of plagiarism.
