College Writing Strategies

This course helps students develop writing competence using adaptive, self-paced writing technology. Students will practice writing sentences, paragraphs, and essays, while learning how to recognize and use basic sentence patterns and write clear paragraphs containing a topic sentence, idea development, and a supportive conclusion. As students progress, they will write unified, supported, essays using grammatically sound sentences. Assignments are individually paced to prepare for college level writing courses. The minimum passing grade for college readiness courses is a "C".
