Rationale

Academic Writing, CO130, is designed for those students who need two semesters (CO130 and CO150) to practice the skills currently covered (and to some degree assumed) in CO150. This class introduces less-prepared students to many of the writing strategies and principles that the current CO150 covers, but at a slower pace. The two-course sequence, in effect, spreads the current CO150 course materials over two semesters, because some students simply need more time to practice writing skills before they can write at the level required in academic contexts across campus.

Prerequisite: Composition Placement Examination.
