Consider your personal experiences and potential contributions to your chosen community, inspired by research that may include readings, interviews, and field trips. Develop higher competencies in the skills of reading, critical thinking, advanced research, and writing about the place or people you hope your work will impact most. Practice the creative process of writing and research on an assigned topic, then learn to read, respond, and apply your own interests, ideas, and critical stance to topics of your choice. Engage in the writing process from brainstorms, outlines, research, drafts, and revisions through peer workshops, tutor visits, librarian consultations, and instructor feedback. Assignments will involve you with practical writing tasks such as quotation, paraphrasing, summary, integration, argument, and use of subjective and objective perspectives. In the spirit of student-led learning and class camaraderie, your grade will depend on your critical listening skills and reviews of classmates' work as well as your own productions.
