ENGL 004C - Writing about Writing Cohort

Lower Division

Concurrently
English 004C is a cohort writing course, meaning students take English 004C and ENGL 005C in consecutive semesters with the same professor and students. English 004C introduces students to writing in college, not just as something people do, but also something people study. Through studying their own and others’ approaches to writing, students develop their critical thinking, written communication, and information evaluation and research practices. With a focus on writing as a process and reflective practice on that process, students complete English 004C prepared for writing in Collegiate Seminar, the more advanced writing required in ENGL 005C, college-level writing more generally, and public writing. This course requires the completion of at least 5,000 words of graded formal writing, and an additional 2,500 words of informal writing practice.

Additional Notes
A grade of at least C- is prerequisite to enrollment in ENGL 005C.
