WRTG 105 - Writing Seminar: (subtitle)

Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0

This course lays the foundation for students to participate insightfully in both written and oral academic conversations. The course focuses on three modes of written and oral communication: communication as an ongoing persuasive dialogue with multiple audiences, communication with a reflective self, and communication with a dynamic evolving text. The course also introduces elements of information literacy and critical thinking needed to develop and evaluate academic conversation. This course is typically taken by new students in their first two semesters, often as the introduction to general education, to our library, and to academic support services as sites of collaboration rather than remediation. As many new students’ only seminar-style class, the course can help lay the foundations of not only academic but also social success.

Offered: Every Semester
