ENC 1101 English Composition I
This course is designed to develop effective written communications skills for academic and professional use. This course requires students to create original compositions, exploring basic rhetorical modes such as narration, exposition, persuasion, and others. Compositions will require extensive revision and will reinforce the student's facility with paragraph organization, sentence structure, diction, and mechanics.

They will incorporate that research in their written work with proper documentation and citation. Students also will develop research skills and learn to incorporate and document researched material in compositions. Course writing assignments require that student writing will be on a subject and of a purpose related to the course's learning outcomes and of a length and depth reflecting higher order thinking such as analysis, argument, and evaluation. This is a writing credit course with international and intercultural content. This course satisfies the Gordon Rule writing requirement. A grade of "C" or higher must be attained.45 class hours.
