Official Course Description: This course introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity. Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of others, and to treat writing as recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses and are introduced to fundamental skills of information literacy. Students work individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing development. Placement into this course is determined by multiple measures, including high school achievement and SAT scores. 4.000 Credit hours.
Successful completion of English Composition fulfills a requirement in the CAS Core Curriculum and the WCHP Common Curriculum.

My Course Description: English 110 was centered around class engagement, critical thinking and individual involvement. Within the course were three major essays assigned based on different articles read in the class including scholarly work from Lisa Delpit, James Gee, Kara Poe Alexander, Bronwyn Williams and more.  To go along with these papers were podcasts on the topics written about.  The podcasts were challenging to complete but great to experience and learn as a future tool for other classes.
