WRIT 3 Composition and Research: II
This two-term course in first-year composition works on the assumption that excellence in writing arises from serious intellectual engagement. To achieve this excellence, WRIT 2 - WRIT 3 enrolls students into intensive, seminar-style classes in which literary and other works (including the students’ own) are analyzed closely and interpreted thoughtfully. By submitting themselves to the rigorous process of writing, discussing, and rewriting their papers, students come to identify and then to master the essential properties of the analytic academic argument. In these ways, students will learn to write clearly and with authority. In WRIT 3, students engage in the more sustained discourse of the research paper. These papers might employ the research protocols of a variety of academic disciplines. Throughout the reading, writing, and research processes, students meet regularly with their tutors and professors, who provide them with individualized assistance. Note: WRIT 2-3 is taken in place of WRIT 5. Students must complete both terms of WRIT 2-3.
