ENGLISH COMPOSITION I

This course focuses on critical reading, analysis, and composition. Students evaluate texts for credibility and relevance, making connections between sources and to personal experience and thinking. Students produce at least 4,000 words of formal writing, including essays written in multiple drafts, with emphasis on argument, coherence, development, audience awareness, MLA style for integrating and citing sources, and editing.
Prerequisite: Students must place into EN101 through the College's placement process, the English Department's end-of-semester portfolio assessment, or by successfully completing EN 098.
