Writing I

Prerequisite(s): See NPRC Placement Standards for English

This course develops effective written communication knowledge, skills, and abilities by approaching writing as a process consciously controlled and changed by the writer to meet goals and objectives in various personal, academic, and professional contexts. This course progressively builds writing expertise from basic composition to argumentation with emphasis on organization, clarity, sentence structure and fluency, sensitivity to audience and purpose, and construction of a logical progression of ideas in development and support of an idea, opinion, or thesis.
