    Upon successful completion of the course, students will:

    1. use prewriting strategies to choose and narrow a topic, to generate and organize ideas

    and to plan an essay;

    2. draft an essay that expresses a main point and provides detailed development and support for that point;

    3. revise writing to achieve coherence, unity and clarity;

    4. edit writing to correct mechanical errors;

    5. produce finished essays which express a main point, provide detailed development, clearly communicate ideas, and come to an effective closure. The essay will also follow the rules of standard written English;

    6. critique their own writing and the writings of others;

    7. use research procedures to produce a documented paper using MLA format;

    8. write successful essays within the confines of a time limit;

    9. exhibit the ability to think critically and analytically and to reason logically in their writing;

    10. recognize that composition skills from this course apply to other writing situations and enhance life-long learning.
