Description

Prerequisite: Placement.

Composition I is an introductory course in writing that develops critical thinking, summarizing, synthesizing, and analyzing skills that prepare students to write college-level essays and research papers without plagiarizing. Students will learn to follow the information literacy process of identifying, organizing, and synthesizing nonfiction sources including peer-reviewed academic journal articles, news articles, books, and credible popular media sources. The course requires an argumentative research paper of 5-8 pages using MLA format and supported by attending a library research workshop. Upon completion of the term, students will complete a portfolio to be analyzed by the department to ensure completion of the course outcomes.
