WRIT 10100 - Writing & Research I: Argumentation

(4) WRIT 10100 enhances skills in reading, writing and information gathering to help students meet foundational competency in effective communication as well as critical thinking.   Students will develop their understanding of how to logically develop and support a thesis for academic and lifelong writing. WRIT 10100 emphasizes revision for clarity, conciseness and cohesion for college-level argumentation. Key sequenced assignments include: paraphrase and summary that accurately state the ideas of others; citation that demonstrates ethical use of the ideas of others; written argumentation that responds logically to the ideas of others; and presentation that demonstrates foundational fluidity in syntax and mechanics.  The enduring value of Writing & Research I is that it introduces students to the rewards of a lifelong commitment to improving thinking in writing.   For associate-level degrees, satisfies EC Written Communications for Foundational Studies. Prerequisite:    or   or placement by examination. Minimum grade of C (defined as C+, C, C-) or better required for course completion. Offered Fall/Spring.
