Welcome to Foundations for College Writing at Rowan University!
In this writing-intensive course, you will learn how to compose college-quality essays that thoughtfully explore complex issues or respond to questions. Throughout this course, you will come to understand academic writing as a recursive process of reading, thinking, exploring/researching, drafting and revising, as well as gain an understanding of the ways in which your writing is shaped by audience, purpose and context. With assistance and feedback from your instructor and other readers, you will learn to utilize a writing process, by which you will revise your essays multiple times, working on your essays’ focus, organization, development of ideas, and grammar and mechanics. The result of your hard work in this course should be your increased ability to write sophisticated academic essays.
At the end of the semester, your progress toward mastering the five goals of this course will be assessed through a portfolio of representative work. This course will prepare you for College Composition I, as well as for your other college courses.
