About this class:
College Composition is conducted as a writing workshop. This means it is primarily a discussion and practice-oriented course, not a lecture course where you can borrow a friend’s notes for the class you missed. You will be learning the best possible way – by doing.
Writing, like any skill, requires practice. This ability to write well is a necessity in every discipline taught at Stark State and in most professional careers. College Composition is designed to enable you to develop reading, thinking, and writing abilities that will help you meet the requirements for academic writing during your college career and beyond into your professional endeavors. Reading, discussion, and writing about a wide variety of topics from your text and additional materials will provide the background for this writing. Additionally, writing and language proficiency are crucial to cognitive growth. Because you learn, think, and share ideas through language, the more effectively you can use language, the better you will be able to learn and grow. Critical thinking skills are essential to this process of becoming an effective writer.
