Course Descriptions
ENGL 100. Introduction to Writing 3 credits
Introduction to the writing process with an
emphasis on fluency. Students learn to develop
and structure ideas in writing through a variety
of one-page assignments and longer papers, and
through discussions of grammar, mechanics,
spelling and usage. ENGL 100 counts toward
graduation as an elective. A competency level of
C is required before a student may enroll in a
higher level course.
ENGL 101. Written Communication 3 credits
An introduction to university writing. Practices
may include writing as rewriting, writing from
sources, writing for an audience, developing a
voice and editing. A grade of C or better is
90
