College Writing
Students are guided through the writing process: rehearsing, drafting, conferring, revising, and editing. The course combines informal writing activities (e.g., journal writing, free writing) with more formal assignments, such as a research paper. Students are encouraged to discover their own “voices” and to write both clearly and effectively about a given topic or reading assignment.
