ENG 100.6 — Intensive College Composition
Students placed in ENG 100.6 are offered extra support, afforded through additional instructional time. Students completing ENG 100.6 will have mastered the fundamentals of college-level reading and writing, including developing a thesis-driven response to the writing of others and following the basic conventions of citation and documentation. They will have practiced what Mike Rose calls the a “habits of mind” necessary for success in college and in the larger world: summarizing, classifying, comparing, contrasting, and analyzing. Students will be introduced to basic research methods and MLA documentation and complete a research project. Students are required to take a departmental final exam that requires the composition of a 500 word thesis-driven essay in conversation with two texts. The course is team-taught by English and Academic Literacy & Linguistics faculty (4 hours ENG / 3 hours ALL). Successful completion of this course is equivalent to passing ENG 101.
