Welcome to E110!
This course is designed to provide you with the writing skills necessary to succeed at this university and in your future careers. Over the course of this semester, you will learn to think rhetorically about purpose, audience, and genre, recognizing the different ways writers achieve their desired rhetorical effects and learning to do the same in your own writing. Additionally, you will learn that good writing doesn’t “just happen” in one attempt. By the end of the semester, you will see writing as a process, one which involves repeatedly revisiting your essays in response to peer evaluations and conferences.
