Each student taking
English 100 will strengthen in his or her ability to read and write with
precision and clarity. You will be invited, through major and minor writing
assignments, to consider your audience and uncover the most effective delivery
for your message. Through research-based essay assignments, you will further
your knowledge about how to find and use outside sources, beyond your own
experience and knowledge, that are both reliable and scholarly and how to cite
these sources using Modern Language Association (MLA) formatting. You will be
asked to create time for writing that will be sufficient for composing written
pieces that are clear and well revised. You will also be asked to reflect on the
process you go through as you write and to learn about yourself and how you
think through this reflection.
