This course is designed to help the requisites: student develop and use the strategies and skills needed to negotiate and understand readings, and to compose text. A grade of C or higher in this course completes the developmental sequences in both reading (ENGL 003) and writing (ENGL 051) required for enrollment into any other courses that require ENGL 003 and/or ENGL 051 as prerequisites.

Learning Outcomes: The integrated Reading and Writing curriculum as designed is rooted in the belief that there is significant interplay between reading and writing and the ways the two disciplines work together to develop students’ literacy. Therefore, the outcomes focus on the interplay between the two areas – reading and writing – while acknowledging that students require intentional practice in becoming active critical readers who possess the ability to respond critically to text and at the same time in learning how to develop the conventions and practices of academic writing. It is through the intentional application of active reading and writing processes that students independently learn to use the strategies and skills needed to negotiate and understand complex academic text.
