ENG 088 - Integrated Reading and Writing, 3 Foundational Cr.
Contact Hours Per Week: 3 Lec.
This is an integrated reading and writing (IRW) course designed to provide opportunities for students to develop and exercise critical thinking skills in reading and writing. The IRW course stresses engagement with texts by examining readings to develop writing skills such as thesis development, paragraph organization, sentence structure, punctuation skills, and vocabulary. Extensive reading is designed to build strategies for note-taking skills, comprehension, and analyzing arguments. Emphasis is also placed on writing that reflects a variety of rhetorical approaches including compare/contrast and cause and effect.
Placement in the course is according to current guidelines. If ENG 088 and ENG 101 are taken concurrently as an ALP course, a combination of essay assignments for both ENG 088 and ENG 101 will be completed and the student must pass both courses. Failure to pass either course will result in the failure of both.
Credits apply only to the College’s academic foundations requirement. (Usually offered Fall and Spring semesters.)
