Course Details

ENGL 100 - Introduction to Academic Research and Writing

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the practice of reading and responding to college/university level texts across the disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on rhetorical strategies and research methods, brainstorming, editing and proofreading, grammar, style, and developing argumentative thesis statements. Students will read a variety of scholarly and non-scholarly works and will critically engage with a range of issues and perspectives. Through intensive workshopping and short writing exercises, building toward a full research paper, students will develop their writing skills and reflect on their own learning process to reiterate both key concepts and discursive skills necessary for success in college and university. This course is intended for students in the two-year Associate of Arts degree; students wishing to pursue a four-year bachelor’s degree should take ENGL 101.
