EAP 0440 Writing Level IV — 3 Credit Hours (College preparatory studies course) (This course does not apply toward the associates degree.)

Prerequisite: writing placement test score at Level IV. The first half of the course will focus on controlled writing practice, beginning at the sentence level. Students will write short descriptions and narratives based on personal experience. This intensive writing practice serves to help establish a purpose for writing and give students confidence in their ability to do so. The second half of the course will introduce students to writing as a process. They will practice, individually and in groups, writing paragraphs that demonstrate their competency in using the process, the format and the standards of acceptable writing. Additional rhetorical modes may be introduced. Three contact hours.
