Course Overview:

This introductory composition course will introduce students to the kinds of reading, writing, and thinking that take place in the university environment.  Through readings, discussions, activities, and explorations in the nature of composing and editing, the course will be student-centered.  The instructor will facilitate online discussions and provide editorial feedback on writing assignments, but students will provide the primary “voice” for the class, via peer review, discussion threads, and online group meetings.

The theme for each course will vary, however, in each course, faculty will teach analysis, classification, interpretation, reportage, reflection, evaluation, and argumentation.  Participants  will also have the opportunity to practice several methods of investigative inquiry, become a more concise writer, learn strategies for engaging the reader and study contemporary research methodology as well as other writing techniques that will be beneficial to the student throughout their college career and beyond.
