ENG 201 Introduction to Writing in the Disciplines

This course provides a transition between ENG 102 (English Composition II) and upper-level courses in the majors. It is designed to give students supplemental instruction in writing effective essays by reviewing grammar and organization and developing critical thinking skills. Research procedures, quoting and paraphrasing sources correctly, and citing according to MLA and APA style formats are emphasized. Additionally, students are introduced to the writing styles of their major disciplines, including Nursing, Psychology, Education, Humanities, the Sciences, and Business. Guest lectures from faculty in the disciplines are included. Librarians also provide instruction in research procedures in the disciplines. This course is required for students who have not passed the English 102 Proficiency Exam. ENG 201 is intended to benefit all students seeking additional preparation before taking writing-intensive upper-level courses in their major programs. Students who are required to take ENG 201 must successfully complete it with a P on a Pass/No Credit grading scale before they are allowed to take writing-intensive upper-level courses in their majors.
