WRT1009 SpTp: Dist. to Production Wrt on Demand

Course Description: Many strong writers struggle to begin writing, sustain writing, and complete writing. In this course, students will learn about composition theory and rhetoric, and the challenges involved in producing writing on demand as a framework for developing their own approach to writing effectively. The course will emphasize strategies for managing written output, including initiating, focusing, producing, and sustaining writing tasks, and the relationship between the ways we manage writing demands and how we learn. Students should expect to execute all stages of the writing process, intentionally identifying areas of strength and areas to improve. Every student will produce at least two essays that have been through the revision process. Eligibility: Students must submit a syllabus and a writing sample from a college level writing course or comparable writing intensive course taken in the last academic year. Eligibility for the course will be reviewed by the Director of the Visiting Student program and the Chair of the Core Education department. Credits: 3
