Description:

Writing 1 is an introduction to college-level writing, reading, and discussion. Initial writing assignments will involve students with language as a personally expressive, creative, and imaginative medium. Later assignments will bring this expressiveness to bear on practical writing tasks typical of college-level work: research, analysis, argument, etc. Reading is designed to stimulate discussion and present models for the students' own writing. Although writing and reading are the main emphases, attention will also be given to informal discussion and oral presentation.COURSE DESCRIPTIONThis section of Writing 1030 will engage both the eye and the hand in exploring interdisciplinary and multimodal texts related to artistic forms.  Students will read, write and think critically about texts related to art and art-making while developing the capacity to articulate and refine ideas. An array of texts from authors of diverse backgrounds will be encountered and students will engage in the production of original critical, creative, scholarly and artistic written work related to the course theme.
