Course Goals:

Although they vary in topic, all sections of WR 100 and WR 150 have certain goals in common. All sections of WR 100 help students develop their abilities to:

• craft substantive, motivated, balanced academic arguments

• write clear, correct, coherent prose

• read with comprehension, critical discernment, and engagement

• plan, draft, and revise efficiently and effectively

• respond productively to the writing of others

• express themselves verbally and converse thoughtfully about complex ideas

All sections of WR 150 should help students continue developing these abilities while also introducing them to college-level research.
