This course develops students’ ability to write unified, cohesive and coherent essays. The rhetorical modes focused on in depth are Exemplification, Comparison-and-Contrast, and Cause-and-Effect. Because English 101 focuses on the revision stage of the writing process, students will engage in thoughtful analysis of their own as well as others’ writing. Students will
explore the Reading/Writing connection and develop those reading skills which will be required throughout their academic and professional careers. Three process essays are required in the course.
