ENG 101 – Compostion I

DETAILS
Semester-hour credits: 3
Tuition: $448.50
Methods: e-mail

DESCRIPTION

English 101 is the first of two, three-credit courses required of all CSU-Pueblo students.  Its major emphasis is to write clear and coherent essays that reflect an understanding of the writing process, rhetorical analysis and the application of five patterns of development:  argument, comparison and contrast, definition, cause and effect, division and classification.  These goals will be accomplished by reading selected excerpts from the text, A World of Ideas, and   by utilizing the support, explanatory material in Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker.  You will notice that no page numbers are given in the assignments for the Hacker text as any edition may be used.  English 101 is designed to prepare students to begin writing across the curriculum and to enable students to continue in English 102.
