Description
This course covers academic writing skills, including drafting, revising and proofreading thesis-driven texts. Students will develop critical reading and thinking skills as they use writing to create personally meaningful texts to share with others. Assignments build from personal experience and expand to incorporate outside sources and writing to multiple audiences. Students will extensively review the conventions of edited Standard English in the context of their written assignment and practice formal and informal modes of writing to increase their fluency. This course prepares students for written assignments in other college courses as well as for lifelong goals as writers. A grade of "C-" or higher is required to take ENGL121. Students with a 16 or lower ACT score are required to take ENGL118 instead of ENGL120. This course fulfills a WI (Writing Intensive) requirement.
