Subject:

Description:

Provides instruction in critical reading, textual analysis, exploration of experience, the development of ideas, and revision. Stresses both the importance of inquiry and reflection and the use of texts and experience as evidence for essays. Reading and writing assignments lead to essays in which students analyze and raise questions about written texts and experience, and reflect upon text, experience, and idea in a collaborative learning environment. Discusses appropriate conventions in English grammar and style as part of instructor feedback. The Expository Writing Program (EWP) offers writing courses for undergraduates throughout the University, as well as tutorial help in the Writing Center for the entire University community. All students (except those in the Arthur O. Eve HEOP or C-Step program) must complete Writing the Essay (EXPOS-UA 1, or EXPOS-UA 5 for Tisch School of the Arts students). Special sections of EXPOS-UA 1 are offered and vary by semester. These include sections for science students, sections in selected residence halls, and sections linked to the Morse Academic Plan (MAP) Text and Ideas requirement. Students in the College of Nursing, Silver School of Social Work, and Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development must complete a second semester of writing, The Advanced College Essay: Education and the Professions (ACE-UE 110); students in Tisch must complete The World Through Art (ASPP-UT 2) as their second term of writing. International students may be eligible to complete their expository writing requirement with the sequence International Writing Workshop I and II (EXPOS-UA 4 and 9). HEOP/C-Step students take Writing I and II (WRI-UF 1001 and 2002). Writing Tutorial (EXPOS-UA 13) provides additional work in writing for students across the University. The program is nationally recognized for faculty development and innovative teaching.
