WRT 100 Fundamentals of Composition

To prepare students for WRT 110, this course focuses on the fundamental skills of academic writing (developing and presenting a controlling idea; responding to reading; awareness of audience; writing conventions such as tone, mechanics, and citations), and the steps necessary to write successfully in college (crafting sound arguments; developing and organizing essays; prioritizing different writing tasks; reflecting on one's own writing).  Students who are required to take WRT 100 must pass the course with a C- or better before successfully completing 30 credits.  For students with a WRT 100 placement, this course is a pre-requisite for WRT 105/WRT 105P and WRT 110.  No credit given for students with prior credit for ENG 099, WRT 105 and or WRT 110.
