ENGL 004 - Composition

Lower Division

English 004 helps students develop their skills in critical thinking and written communication, and it introduces them to information evaluation and research practices. Through the writing process, students engage in intellectual discovery and unravel complexities of thought. They read and write to examine their own and others’ assumptions, investigate topics, and analyze arguments. With a focus on writing as a scaffolded process, the course is designed to prepare students for writing in Collegiate Seminar, the more advanced writing required in ENGL 005, and college-level writing in general. 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 005.
