ENG-1010T - Composition and Rhetoric* (E) (3)

Prerequisite: College-level reading and writing placement
Students complete their college-level composition course.  Students focus on planning, organizing, and developing a variety of argumentative compositions.  Students practice the conventions of written Standard Academic English, gain information literacy skills, and learn research and documentation techniques, including conducting online and print research and documenting sources.  By the end of the semester, students demonstrate their ability to write a unified and coherent argument-based essay of about 1000 words that incorporates research and is nearly free of grammatical, mechanical, and structural errors. Students may earn credit for this course through CLEP or Advanced Placement Examination.  A minimum grade of “C” is required to pass the course.  This course satisfies the General Education English Composition requirement.
