IRW-0900C - The Academic Portfolio (0)

Prerequisite: Placement
From short academic emails to journal entries, lab reports, and even 10-page research papers, college students write a lot! In college, most written assignments are graded on both the quality of the content discussed and the quality of the writing. We will read some articles by professional writers and write summaries. You will also bring your writing assignments from all your courses, and we will help you develop effective, clear, meaningful sentences that meet your instructors’ requirements for correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. By the end of this 7-week course, you will be able to use subjects, verbs, pronouns, prepositions, phrases and clauses to create sentences that enable meaning to be conveyed clearly. A final portfolio of writing samples and a short essay will be required. Students who pass this course earn ENG and RDG equivalency and are ready to take ENG 1010.
