This class will
focus on the reading/writing connection while exploring traditional and
non-traditional kinds of texts, as well as different forms of English. We will
write a variety of short expository essays—including definition, evaluative
comparison/contrast, proposal, and process—both in response to readings and on
topics of the student’s choice. This course will also emphasize the process of
writing, as well as skills in critical thinking and evaluating the credibility
of different sources.
