WRIT 188: First-Year College Writing

Course Description

In this course, students will develop their writing, critical reading, critical thinking, and information literacy skills by exploring a single topic in depth. Students are expected to participate actively in their own learning through class discussions and group activities. The theme will vary, depending on the instructor. Successful completion of WRT 188 fulfills the English composition or Quest Writing general education requirement. Prerequisites: WRT 100 with a grade of C or better, English Placement into WRT 101 or 110, or English Placement into WRT 188 and WRT 099 with concurrent registration in WRT 099. Students with WRT 188/WRT 099 placement will be required to retake both classes if they do not pass their concurrent WRT 099 class. Students who have a WRT 188/WRT 099 placement must pass WRT 099 in order to receive a grade for WRT 188. Students who fail WRT 099 will be required to take the WRT 188/WRT 099 combination again.
