In ENGL 1010, students develop strategies for using writing to explore, interpret, and communicate information about themselves and their lives; use writing as a tool to learn and to discover; develop critical reading strategies; develop a sense of purpose and audience; develop their ability to reduce sentence-level errors in their writing; and increase their ability to use writing to accomplish their own goals in the university and society. Successful completion of both ENGL 1010 satisfies the General Education Written Communication requirement (GE A2).
