ENC 1101 - College Composition

Credit Hours: 3.0
Prerequisite(s): None
Corequisite(s): None
This course introduces students to rhetorical concepts and audience-centered approaches to writing including composing processes, language conventions and style, and critical analysis and engagement with written texts and other forms of communication.

As a foundational Writing-Intensive Tier I course, ENC1101 teaches students to write original, focused, well developed essays appropriate for their purpose and audience. In this course, students will learn to write sentences using academic English, largely free from errors that impede clear communication of ideas. Students learn to write using self-assessment, feedback, and revision of multiple drafts. Students will produce writing that adheres to conventions of MLA style, including essay formatting and documentation. Students will summarize, analyze, and respond to varied texts. Students will produce writing that synthesizes information from multiple sources to develop and support a thesis. Formal essays account for at least 70 percent of final course grade.
