WRT005 English Writing Skills

This course is intended to develop English writing skills, especially editing skills, in fluent, near-native English speaking bilingual or multilingual students. Topics include the minimal grammar knowledge necessary to find and correct most English errors for such students, as well as ways to develop and organize different genres of college-level essays, utilizing the principles of process writing, including pre-writing, drafting, revising and editing. This course requires approximately one hour per week of supervised work in a computer lab during class time. PLEASE NOTE: This course is a developmental course and DOES NOT carry graduation credit. It is NOT usually transferable. Since developmental courses are mandated courses, students who do not meet the exit criteria of a grade of C or higher for English Writing Skills will be required to repeat this course.
