Students in Eng. 100 will learn the nuts and bolts of academic
writing, including how to properly cite their papers using MLA style and
incorporate other perspectives into their own writing.
Major
assignments in the course will include: a problem/solution essay,
an explaining opposing positions essay, and finally a persuasive
research essay.
Throughout the course, students will be asked to

chance to have one of his or her essays workshopped by the entire class
at least once during the course.
