Note: The Leadership Excellence School Admissions course is a prerequisite for the College Writing Lab.
Overview: College Writing Lab is a companion course to College Writing. Degree-seeking students of Christian Leaders College should enroll in both classes at the same time. In this lab, students write and submit essays and research papers that apply the principles taught in College Writing. Together, these companion courses teach college-level essay writing and research writing rooted in critical and analytical reading.
Course Objectives:
- Acquire strategies to read efficiently and identify a text's important ideas
- Activate intellectual skills to understand and critically evaluate the assertions of a text
- Develop basic writing strategies (research, planning, summarizing, organizing, avoiding plagiarism, referencing, and proofreading)
- Become proficient in key elements of essay writing (argument and discussion, cause and effect, definitions, style)
- Pursue economy of language (precision, clarity, conciseness, academic vocabulary, word choice)
- Learn to structure and develop an academic research paper (thesis development, evaluating sources, organizing, revising, and APA documentation)
Assignments:
- Write and upload two essays. You should complete the first eight English 121 College Writing units before uploading your essays here.
- Write and upload a research paper. You should complete all twelve English 121 College Writing units before uploading your research paper here.
- If you took College Writing some time ago and are doing the lab separately, you should review the materials posted below before writing your essays and papers.
