This course helps students develop skills in expository writing by completing a minimum of five multi-draft essays of varying degrees of complexity. In these essays, students develop topics in at least four of these five rhetorical patterns: example, comparison/contrast, classification, process analysis, and cause/effect analysis. Students also write an argumentative essay that demonstrates familiarization with methods of research documentation. During the course, students utilize the various stages of the writing process -- prewriting, drafting, and revising.
