This course offers classroom instruction and practice in the skills necessary to write effective informative and persuasive essays, to understand the primary principles of scholarly inquiry and research, and to use the conventions of documentation. Students learn to use the conventions of standard written American English to establish a clear purpose in their writing, to develop their purpose with adequate and pertinent evidence, and to adapt their presentations to a range of audiences. The preparation of regularly scheduled essays is required, as is revision and editing of instructor-evaluated work.
