WRTG 104 - College Writing Accelerated

2 credits
College Writing Accelerated extends the sense of intellectual community developed in the College Seminars in which students are co-enrolled. Designed particularly for students who have taken AP or honors courses in high school, this course challenges students to practice the advanced literacy skills necessary for a liberal arts education, by reading and responding to texts from several academic disciplines. By exploring the style, vocabulary, and structure of disciplinary discourse, they begin to develop the flexibility to move between academic disciplines and to assess the needs of academic and non-academic audiences and revise their writing accordingly. They also conduct additional research to expand those interpretations and revise their arguments. Students who earn a C- or above will thereby fulfill their first-year college writing requirement; all others will enroll in College Writing 115 in the spring semester.
