Basic Writing 111
Basic Writing (ENGLWRIT 111) is an intensive reading and writing course designed for students needing additional preparation before College Writing. This course awards three US Diversity credits and focuses on the theme of language and literacy. Students read and write about the myriad literacies by which and through which they negotiate the world and how these literacies shape identity. Students produce essays incorporating what they read in class as well as their own personal experience and knowledge. All classes are held workshop-style in computer labs to allow for collaboration and consultation among students and between student and teacher.
