of college-level writing, such as narrative, analytical, and persuasive essays;
analyze and evaluate the logic, evidence, and strategies of an argument
(written and/or presented in a visual or digital medium); enable one to find
and evaluate information from a library, the internet, or other sources;
synthesize relevant findings in your writing without plagiarizing; and analyze
and interpret a literary work (nonfiction, fiction, poetry, or drama) or other
textual material.
