Year Level: 1
ENGL112 seeks to develop the writing and reading skills that are necessary for active participation within the University academic environment. The course will focus primarily on the development of skills related to analysing different rhetorical situations, responding to those situations and developing effective writing processes that encourage active revision and editing. Students are expected to read a number of academic and non-academic non-fiction texts within 3-4 thematic areas (taught as modules) and write 3-4 essays (one for each module) of appropriate academic prose. At least one essay assignment must be an ‘in-class’ timed essay. Throughout the semester students will be expected to produce 6-8 pages (1500-2000 words) of edited prose writing, which will form the bulk of the evaluated student products.
