Welcome to ENG 098. This course focuses on developing three skills crucial for academic success: critical reading, critical writing, and clarity of written expression (including grammar and sentence skills). In pursuit of strengthening these skills, students will complete weekly reading and writing assignments, grammar reviews, and discussions. The course begins with structuring paragraphs and progresses to drafting and revising short essays.

The best way to master a skill set is to practice. Additionally, guidance and feedback are essential. In this course, students will have numerous opportunities to interact with classmates in discussions, to practice skills introduced in weekly lessons, and to receive individual feedback from the instructor.
