Many of you will find that this reading and writing is very different from what was expected of you in high school. To help with this transition, this course provides you with an interactive small-class space where you can meet classmates, work in groups, interact with the instructor, and learn about academic writing as well as learn how to do it. To be successful in an academic context, you need to understand how academic writing and reading work, as well as some of the concepts they’re based on, such as genre, rhetoric, audience and reader expectations, discourse communities, argument and counterargument, working with evidence, engaging sources, establishing credibility, and the process of writing, revising, and editing. In this course, however, you will do more than just learn about these principles and concepts; you will learn how to put this learning into practice in order to help you become a more effective academic reader and writer This means that you will be doing a lot of writing for this class—both in and out of the classroom.
