DESCRIPTION

College Writing teaches students writing skills necessary for college success, with a primary focus on grammar and composition. Among the many other writing-centered activities we'll engage in, this class requires students to practice brainstorming, free-writing, sentence construction (in the context of short writing assignments), paragraph construction, the organization of ideas, and the several types of, purposes of, and audiences for general essays. Students will build on these basic skills by planning, writing, and revising essays, and experiencing writing and reading as a multi-step process.We write to communicate to others - whether they are colleagues, professionals in their fields, or friends. We write to convince others that our position has validity. We write to discover new things about our world as well as ourselves. For that matter, the process of writing is epistemological - a way of coming to know. Writing can become a medium for self-reflection, self-expression, and communication, a means of coming to know for both the writer and reader. Learning to write requires writing. Writing is a craft, and as a craft, writing can be learned and refined. Ultimately, writing takes practice, and as a writer, you will have opportunities to write both in the classroom as well as outside.
