ENG 12A0 — Composition I ALP
An introductory course in critical reading and writing emphasizing the development and communication of ideas in written form and a basic rhetorical understanding of how language communicates facts, ideas, and attitudes. Students apply basic rhetorical concepts in reading and composing texts in several genres; compose texts that integrate the writer’s ideas with those from other texts, including research materials; and develop writing projects through drafting, reviewing, collaborating, revising, rewriting, rereading, and editing. This course includes an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) component, which provides the academic supports that were typically found in the standalone developmental course. For students who are eligible for a corequisite course per the CUNY English Proficiency Index guidelines.
