This is an introductory academic writing course for first-year students. Students should be taught how to write a unified, coherent paragraph, which is the basic unit of composition common to most forms of academic, business, professional, and general-purpose writing in English. Developing fluency and well-structured paragraphs is the main focus of this course. However, students in Group C should also practice writing for accuracy at the same time.

Overall Objectives
1. To provide an overview of what constitutes a ‘good’ paragraph
2. To learn how to properly format a typed paragraph
3. To help students write about themselves and their experiences
4. To help students write clear, coherent and properly-structured paragraphs
5. To help students analyze and revise their writing
6. To help students become familiar with computer literacy and the use of Microsoft Word or Googledocs to create well-formatted documents.

This course focuses on improving students’ "vocabulary," "grammar" and "writing" skills, as stated in DP 2. Overall objectives are for students to acquire the basics of "written productive skills," as stated in the CP
