First Year Composition (FYC) English 1101

English 1101 (English Composition I) is the first step in a required two-step composition sequence under section A1 in 51勛圖厙's core curriculum. The course catalog defines the course as focusing on "developing academic and professional written communication through a variety of rhetorical strategies. Using primarily nonfiction texts as models, the course emphasizes critical thinking and analysis, as well as introductory academic research skills."

Through various writing assignments, the broad goal of English 1101 is to help students recognize that writing is a complex, labor-intensive process that involves active reading and research, critical thinking, analysis, multiple-draft writing, and precise editing.

Texts

English 1101 instructors may require their students to purchase a rhetoric/reader, a grammar/style handbook, and supplemental texts.
