ENG 090 - Fundamentals of College Writing

Institution:

Community College of Allegheny County

Subject:

English Writing & Literature

Description:

English 090 develops written communication skills, beginning with the ability to detect, diagnose, and correct error patterns in focused writings. Students practice sentence mechanics in the context of their own writing, while learning to develop paragraphs and short essays that clarify and support a point of view in preparation for college-level writing. Students then progress to planning, drafting, revising, and editing of short essays, some of which will be reading-based. Supplemental instruction is a required part of this course. Students must earn an "A" grade to register for ENG 101. Students who earn "B" or "C" will register for the ENG 101 + 1 (lab). Students must earn a "C" grade or better to register for the next course in this discipline or to use this course as a prerequisite for a course in another discipline.
