Writing is a process. In this course, students experience the writing process by authoring a variety of activities and essays. This course enables students to practice writing with confidence and purpose in academic settings and the workplace. They explore fundamental aspects of writing, including audience, purpose, style, tone, and point of view, and they write in multiple genres, exploring personal, professional, source-driven, and reflection writing. Students build upon their personal, professional, and academic experiences to analyze and respond to various prompts using quotes, summarizing, and paraphrasing evidence. In a series of linked assignments that move from a personal narrative to a source-driven Career Narrative Essay, they explore conventions for personal, professional, and academic writing.
