COURSE DESCRIPTION
Composition I (3 credits): The equivalent of three hours lecture per week.
Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in ENG 22 or qualification for ENG
100 on the KCC placement test. This
version of the course is Internet intensive. However, it is the equivalent of
the standard English 100 course. The critical
difference is that the class will be conducted entirely over the Internet.
Class "meetings" and activities will occur online via email, the
class webpage, WebCT, and, possibly, WebChat. Because of the nature of this course, students
planning to enroll must be aware of the special qualifications/requirements
(see Special Computer and Internet Requirements below). This course fulfills
the written communication foundation requirement for degrees at UH Manoa and Kapi'olani CC.
COURSE COMPETENCIES
ENG 100 students will
develop strategies for effective college writing, with an emphasis on critical
reading and thinking. This course includes instruction in the composing process
and practice in various kinds of writing, including analysis, interpretation,
and research writing from sources. By the end of the course, students will complete
a minimum of 5000 words of finished prose, roughly equivalent to 20 typewritten
pages.
Upon successful completion
of ENG 100, the student should be able to:
● Employ a writing
process that includes gathering information and exploring ideas, developing and
supporting a point of view or thesis, organizing, revising, editing, and
proofreading.
● Produce different
forms of college-level writing, such as narrative, analytical, and persuasive
essays, with content, organization, diction, and style effectively adapted to
various writing situations, purposes, audiences, and subjects.
● Analyze and
evaluate the logic, evidence, and strategies of an argument (written or
presented in electronic or paper media).
● Analyze and
interpret a literary work (nonfiction, fiction, poetry, or drama) or other
textual material.
● Find and evaluate
information from a library, from the Internet, or from other sources;
synthesize and document relevant findings in his/her own writing without
plagiarizing.
● Work effectively with
fellow students and the instructor in providing and receiving written and
verbal feedback on assigned work.
● Write a coherent,
time-restricted response to an assigned question or topic.
