Category: ENG 122

This course is the first part of a two-course sequence that is equivalent to English 110, English Composition. The course begins students’ introduction to writing as a conscious and development activity. Students learn to read, think, and write in response to a variety of texts, to integrate their ideas with those of others, and to treat writing as recursive process. Through this work with texts, students are exposed to a range of reading and writing techniques they can employ in other courses. Students work individually and collaboratively, participate in peer review, and learn to take more responsibility for their writing development. Students enrolled in the course must also register for SAS 011, Engaging with Text Writing Lab, one-credit lab supports work in ENG 122. Placement into the course is determined by multiple measures of a student’s writing experiences and abilities. Corequisites: SAS 011. 3.000 Credit hours.

End of Semester Writing Day 2

Throughout this semester, we learned a lot of different habits in writing, including revision, prewriting, drafting, and editing each essay we wrote.

End of Semester Writing

If you have strict parents, how could thinking about going to a concert alone be good judgment? I had a cognitive fallacy, which is what Kahneman explains. The cognitive fallacy I had was the exaggerated…

Case Study Part 2

There is an article that explains why we make bad judgments. This article is by Daniel Kahneman. He talks about the ways people make bad judgments and why they make bad judgments.
