Writing Across Contexts
Writing Across Contexts is an inquiry-based writing course that engages students in problem posing and solving. Students practice recursive writing processes, such as peer review, to adapt to the evolving demands of writing in university and beyond. The course culminates in a final portfolio showcasing their ability to establish credibility, interpret texts, respond to rhetorical situations, and reflect on their writing.
