This is a sustained examination of and practice with college-level writing. Students will generally take ENG 023 in their first year of college.

Students gain experience in writing in a variety of genres which may include, but are not limited to, proposals, reviews, personal narratives, digital texts, rhetorical analyses, persuasive essays, reports, and critical analysis essays. Readings are assigned to provoke discussions, provide opportunities for the analysis and synthesis of arguments, and finally to generate essay topics.

In addition, the mechanics of good writing, which may include diction, grammar, syntax, usage, and structure are addressed as part of the process of writing; however, the focus of this course is not grammar instruction.
