Several shorter papers will also be required through which students will become more familiar with some of the modes of discourse which inform various types of academic writing: summary, extended definition, process, critique, and synthesis. Many class periods will be conducted in a workshop format, and students will be expected to share their own works in progress as well as contribute thoughtfully and constructively on the works of their peers. Placement into the course will be determined by Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or a University of Cincinnati writing placement test score.
