This section of ENGL 115 examines writing as a subject to be studied, not as a set of generalizable skills to be learned and then applied to all subsequent writing contexts. While this course will still include much writing, the specific content we engage through these written tasks will be drawn from the discipline of writing studies. You might think of this class as a course that helps you consider “how writing works and functions.” Just as an Introduction to Biology course functions for a biology major or fulfills ACE requirements, this is an Introduction to Writing course that introduces you to the field of writing studies.
