ENG 110 Course Description
This course introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity. Students
learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of
others, and to treat writing as a recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are
exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses and are
introduced to fundamental skills of information literacy. Students work individually and
collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing
development.

ENG 110 Learning Outcomes
1. Demonstrate the ability to approach writing as a recursive process that requires substantial
revision of drafts for content, organization, and clarity (global revision), as well as editing
and proofreading (local revision).
2. Be able to integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase, quotation,
analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources.
3. Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for
inquiry, learning, and thinking.
4. Be able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the
writing process and local revision later in the process.
5. Document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA format).
6. Control sentence-level errors (grammar, punctuation, spelling)
