About the Program

The First-Year Writing program, housed in the聽English Department, is a part of 黑料不打烊’s First-Year Foundations program and works alongside the Center for Writing Excellence to promote writing excellence for all students.

English 1100 Writing: Argument and Inquiry is a requirement for all students, and it is one of the courses that compose the First Year Foundations in 黑料不打烊’s Core Curriculum. Since it provides a foundation for writing students are expected to do in and beyond college, students take it in either the fall or spring semester of their first year.

English 1100 supports students’ ongoing development as flexible, reflective writers through extensive practice in process strategies, argumentation, and research. Students learn and apply rhetorical strategies to write effectively across multiple media for a variety of audiences. Though there is not a standardized syllabus for the course, all sections of ENG1100 share common outcomes.
