About English 110A
English 110A – also known as
Language and Writing – provides an entry into college-level writing and
academic discourse. The course encourages students to examine writing
closely, to figure out what makes a piece of writing effective (or not) and how
different aspects of writing work together (or don’t). We’ll
address conventions, rules, and preferences that masquerade as rules. By making
choices about an array of interrelated tools, students can devise a writing
style that is both effective in an academic setting and comfortably individual.
English 110A meets Mondays,
Tuesdays, and Thursdays, 11-11:50
