College Composition introduces students to academic writing as a process of inquiry, reflection, and communication. Through reading, discussion, and research, students explore relevant issues from multiple perspectives and develop informed, evidence-based positions. Along with the writing process, the course reinforces critical reading, critical thinking, and formal documentation as foundational to academic inquiry, with emphasis on curiosity-driven learning, information literacy, and ethical research practices.
Prerequisite: Placement into or permission of department
