English 110 introduces students to writing as a conscious and developmental activity. Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of others, and to treat writing as a recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses. Students work individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing development. Placement into this course is determined by multiple measures, including high school achievement and SAT scores.
Successful completion of English 110 fulfills the writing requirement in the CAS Core Curriculum or the CHP Common Curriculum.
This section of ENG 110 will use digital tools. In this course, you will be required to use WordPress for ePortfolio, Google Docs for formal essays and peer review, and video and/or audio editing software for digital projects. The instructor will provide guidance to support this learning environment; UNE also provides support through the Digispace, located in Decary. When seeking DigiSpace assistance, please check hours of availability.
