Developing Competence in College Reading, Writing, and Study Skills

This course is for students who need intensified instruction in both reading and writing, as determined by a standard skills assessment or placement test and screening results. Emphasis is on the link between the concurrent development of reading and writing skills, with special attention paid to the use of critical thinking to analyze a range of written texts and the production of organized, well-developed essays and reports. Computer-integrated pedagogy, theme-based curriculum, and in-class tutor support are important aspects of the course.
