Academic Writing teaches the essential strategies for university writing and research: the discovery of topics, the arrangement of ideas, the assessment of audience and purpose, and the practice of effective editing. Sections of RHET-1105, designed for students who have not yet chosen a field of study, take a multidisciplinary rather than discipline-specific perspective. The approach taken in each section (for instance, the assignments, the research methods, and the styles of documentation) varies. The Department website provides detailed information about each section. Note: Students may receive credit for only one Academic Writing course at the 1000 level for graduation. Students with standing in the former ENGL-0100(3) Fundamentals of Rhetoric must register in a 3 credit hour version of Academic Writing in order to satisfy the writing requirement. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and RHET-1101 | RHET-1102 | RHET-1103 | RHET-1104 | RHET-1106 | ENGL-1100 | ENGL-1101 | ENGL-1121 | ENGL-1122 | RHET-1110 | RHET-1115.
