ENG 110 Course Description
This course introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity.
Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, integrate their ideas
with those of others, and treat writing as a recursive process. Through this work with texts,
students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other
courses and are introduced to fundamental skills of information literacy. Students work
individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more
responsibility for their writing development. Placement into this course is determined by
multiple measures, including high school achievement and SAT scores. 4.000 credit hours.
*Successful completion of English Composition fulfills a requirement in the CAS Core Curriculum
and the WCHP Common Curriculum.

editing and proofreading (local revision).
2. Be able to integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase,
quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources.
3. Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for
inquiry, learning, and thinking.
4. Be able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the
writing process and local revision later in the process.
5. Document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA format).
6. Control sentence-level errors (grammar, punctuation, spelling)
