Description

ENGLWRIT 112 (College Writing) is a first-year college-level writing course designed to help students expand their ability to write essays for academic, civic, and personal purposes and to develop their rhetorical awareness to write effectively in new social contexts. Based on the assumption that writing is a social activity, this course requires active engagement in the writing process, including pre-writing, peer review, revision, and editing. Students write five essays. This is the only course at UMass Amherst which satisfies the General Education College Writing (CW) requirement. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGLWRIT 112 through the Writing Placement Exam or a passing grade in ENGLWRIT 111 Basic Writing. May not be taken Pass/Fail. (Gen.Ed. CW)

Eligibility


Open to Commonwealth College students only.

Notes

Open to Freshman and Sophomore students in the Honor Program only.

Students: Please note -- this is a "Flex" section.
Flex sections of College Writing use flexible learning strategies and hybrid delivery methods designed to provide greater choice, accessibility, and flexibility. Although flex sections may vary, most classes enable students to meet both physically in class together during designated times, while also having built-in options for students to choose to attend and participate remotely. Remote participation can happen both synchronously and asynchronously. Over the course of the semester, each instructor will clarify the flex learning methods and hybrid strategies that will be used.
