ENGL 121 College Composition

This course guides students through the expository writing process and the rhetorical arts of argument and persuasion through critical thinking and research. Students will examine the relationship among writer, audience, and purpose, and practice writing through a recursive process. Students will develop an understanding of themselves as responsible readers and writers of global, contemporary critical discourse. Students completing this course successfully should be able to write persuasive, researched and documented essays (of at least 1,000 words) demonstrating the conventions of standard written English and manuscript presentation. ENGL 121 transfers as university-parallel freshman English. A grade of C or higher is required for successful completion of this course.
