About this course

Composition I is a course in critical thinking, reading and writing. It will provide a thorough introduction to the writing process and academic discourse: generating ideas, developing a thesis, supporting a thesis with evidence, and revising and editing. Students will be introduced to a variety of research resources, including the NYPL and CUNY library systems and learn basic research techniques. Because good writing starts with good reading, attention will be paid to critical reading strategies.
