EGL-1010 — Composition I: Expository Writing
In this university-parallel freshman English course, students learn the fundamentals of effective writing. Students develop thesis-driven essays with well-organized, coherent, and unified paragraphs. Students also develop an annotated bibliography of sources that summarizes and evaluates research on a given topic. Students then integrate these sources into an APA- or MLA-formatted research paper, focusing on synthesis and analysis. Throughout the course, students apply grammar and usage conventions to effectively communicate with an intended audience. EGL-1010 fulfills the General Education composition I requirement. Organize essay content into introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs. Construct unified, coherent, and well-developed paragraphs with precise topic sentences. Apply grammar and usage rules correctly. Evaluate library and online resources relevant to a specific topic. Synthesize multiple sources into an essay to support its thesis. Accurately integrate sources through summary, paraphrase, and direct quotation. Properly document sources through in-text parenthetical and end-of-text bibliographic documentation according to MLA or APA in order to avoid plagiarism.
