Composition I Accelerated

In this course students write coherent essays in varied academic formats, both in and out of class, responding to culturally diverse materials and using appropriate technology. Students focus on critical and analytical skills through reading and listening. They also study aspects of argumentation, including formulating theses; researching and identifying sources; evaluating and documenting sources; and communicating persuasively across contexts, purposes, and media. Three additional hours each week support students with lower placement scores in achieving college-level writing with an emphasis on the recursive writing process and intensive practice in college-level writing. Admission is based on college placement test scores. Course meets seven classroom hours weekly.CUNY Pathways: Required Core-English Composition
