Equivalency Details

ENG 100 is a developmental writing course that introduces students from any discipline to the fundamentals of composition including: considerations of audience, thesis development, organization of ideas, methods of argument, revision, and copy-editing for grammatical correctness. Assignments include common forms of college writing-such as the personal, expository, and argumentative essays-and are designed to support student writing in other academic courses. The use of various instructional modalities (including computer-based instruction) will apply. While especially valuable for first-year writers, ENG 100 can be taken by upper classmen who would benefit from enhanced writing instruction. Course does not ful?ll the College writing requirement. Students are not allowed to withdraw from the course, except in cases of documented exigencies. Permission of the English department chair is required for withdrawal. Offered fall and spring. 3 credits

This is an introductory writing course designed to increase students' writing proficiency and prepare them for the work of ENG 023. ENG 022 focuses on the writing process and provides an introduction to critical thinking and analytical writing. Students gain experience in writing in 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. Readings are assigned to provoke discussions, provide opportunities for the analysis and synthesis of arguments, and to generate essay topics. Particular attention is paid to topic generation, focus, purpose and development. In addition, mechanics of Standard Edited American English, 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. Students completing this course must still complete ENG 023 or ENG 025 to fulfill the General Education requirement in composition.
