Course Introduction
The first semester of college writing provides a foundation for the academic writing you will be expected to do throughout your college tenure. This course will help students:
1. Recognize and implement writing as a process through invention, drafting, revising, and editing.
2. Learn, understand, and implement the rhetorical “triangle” of writer, reader, and subject—elements necessary for any rhetorical situation. Students will also learn how to change their approach and emphasis according to rhetorical aim.
3. Develop the ability to read critically, to think critically, and to write effectively using these skills.
4. Gain insight into the student’s personal style and adopt a writing process that allows the student to write effectively under various circumstances.
