Writing (WRT)

WRT-102 is the first course in a two semester sequence designed to meet the outcomes of the accelerated College Writing and Research by stretching them across two semesters. These courses are designed to feel like a single course, allowing students to benefit from a writing learning community with the same students and faculty in both semesters. Both WRT-102 & WRT-103 are rigorous writing courses, but they offer more embedded support, more time to practice writing, reading and research skills, and greater opportunities for drafts, feedback and revision. WRT-102 offers students a greater focus on critical reading skills with a focus on deep reading and comprehension, an introduction to rhetorical concepts, genre analysis and disciplinary awareness, and an introduction to research. Students will develop their writing process, engage in peer review, and practice revision strategies. This course offers embedded support from Salve's Writing Center and Library.

WRT-103 is the second course in a two semester sequence designed to meet the outcomes of the accelerated College Writing and Research by stretching them across two semesters. These courses are designed to feel like a single course, allowing students to benefit from a writing learning community with the same students and faculty in both semesters. Both WRT-102 & WRT-103 are rigorous writing courses, but they offer more embedded support, more time to practice writing, reading and research skills, and greater opportunities for drafts, feedback and revision. WRT-103 continues supporting students as they develop critical reading, writing and research skills and utilize the rhetorical and genre awareness they developed in WRT-102 to anatyze and compose a range of texts. Students will continue to develop and refine their writing process, engage in peer review, and practice revision strategies. This course offers embedded support from Salve's Writing Center and Library.

WRT-105 is an intensive writing course that helps students learn the foundations of college-level writing. Students learn to use writing as a tool for thinking, learning and communicating. This course helps students develop and adapt their writing process for specific writing tasks, consider the choices writers make and the impact those choices have on readers, and refine and practice college-level research skills.
