ENG1020: First Year Writing (FYWR)

Abstract

First Year Writing introduces students to college-level writing and prepares them for all subsequent academic work by also deepening reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Every section of this course emphasizes the writing process to develop strategies for the invention, exploration, and revision of written work. First Year Writing encourages rhetorical flexibility and helps students integrate and build on outside ideas in order to consider a topic from different viewpoints and learn how to properly document sources. FYWR 1020 is required for all incoming students.
