EN 101 - English Composition-1

(3/3)

EN 100/101 emphasizes personal narratives and autobiographies to help students find and express their own voices. Assignments will include a variety of writing. Professors will select a combination of assignments from the following: free-writing, journals, short scripts, personal essays, expanded autobiographies such as oral histories, career-research papers and I-centered research (¿I-centered¿ research is defined as a research paper in which the student investigates a topic of personal interest). The required research paper must be at minimum 4-5 pages in length(excluding the Works Cited page). These writings will increase students’ awareness of voice and improve their understanding of how writers adapt language for specific audiences and use various public forms and conventions. Students must pass the first semester of the sequence with a C- before enrolling in the second semester.
