ENG1175 Expository Writing

This course is arranged to equip students for the writing they will do at the university and in their professional lives.  An array of essay models will be addressed.  The student will probe the diverse forms of essays and learn what they encompass.  The course provides guidance and training in critical reading, creative thinking, and clear writing.  It provides additional direction in the expansion of ideas and the writing of an array of essays.  The course accentuates exploration, investigation, reflection, analysis, modification, and collaborative learning.

You will focus directly on constructing and reworking your ideas.  Writing and thinking are inseparable.  Good thinking requires good writing.  By concentrating on many aspects of writing as well as the numerous types of writing, you will realize a feeling of your own voice and mode of writing.
