ENG 083 - Writing:Introduction to Composition

Institution:

Connecticut State Community College Tunxis

Subject:

Description:

3 credits (ENG-002) (89-115) Through more complex essay types used in the academic setting students master the stages of the writing process as a vehicle for effective expression of ideas. Moving beyond writing based primarily on personal experience and observation, students focus on demonstrating the ability to understand, report, and react to the ideas of others. The basics of appropriate use of quotation, summary, and paraphrase as well as documentation of sources are introduced. Students develop awareness of the importance of audience and purpose. Texts will serve as models and sources for students to refine their skills in narration, description and exposition, and to develop skills in interpretation and argumentation. Students increase mastery of the conventions of standard academic written English. This course does not satisfy an English requirement or an English elective in any degree program; neither do its credits count toward graduation. It prepares students for Composition. Prerequisite: C- or better in Writing: Introduction to the Essay, OR C- or better in Integrated Reading and Writing I; OR Appropriate Placement Test score.
