Description
This course teaches academic reading and writing skills, which are crucial to students success and intellectual growth in all their courses. Students will refine their existing writing skills and address any problems they might have with standard English usage by engaging in extensive writing and revision of student-generated papers. Additionally, students will learn to read texts critically and carefully and to produce analytical arguments using them. Each section of COMP 131 has a different critical emphasis, but all sections do the same amount of work.
