ENGL 101: Academic Writing

This course is the study and application of the principles and techniques necessary for successful thesis-based academic research writing. We pay particular attention to process: researching and prewriting, drafting, integrating sources and citing them accurately, and revising. Major Formal Assignments focus on the effective use of research and writing techniques commonly employed in academic writing. During class, you will learn about composition and academic research, discuss reading and writing assignments, and reflect on and improve your own writing. Outside of class, you will complete readings and informal writing assignments while also composing and revising your Major Formal Assignments.
