About Onward
Composition Classes
Overview
Onward Writing courses are designed to
teach and review grammatical, spelling, and writing skills through
practical application by writing a variety of essays, keeping a journal,
and researching a topic at some length, preparing the student to be
ready for almost any writing assignment in other academic courses.
Although no credit will apply toward a college degree directly, the
opportunity to earn three credits in lieu of taking ENG 101 is based on
a portfolio of writing samples, the grade in the course, and permission
of the English Department representative.
ONE 12: Onward Composition (offered in
Fall semester)
Students write essays based on readings
in American history. Each student drafts six or seven essays, revises
each with the help of peers, and finally presents the paper in the
class. A review of grammar, sentence structure and punctuation makes up
the editing part of the course. 3 credits.
