Each first-year writing seminar will study a unique theme chosen by the instructor that will be analyzed in a critical manner and engage multiple disciplinary perspectives to demonstrate the purpose and nature of a liberal arts education. In the analysis of this theme, this course will prepare students to read, write, think, and discuss critically within the larger academic community. Students will study conventions of effective writing for various types of academic essays. Students will write, receive feedback on, and revise multiple pieces of formal and informal writing. Student writing, including drafts, will total at least 25 pages.
