English 101 is--virtually universally in the US--an introduction to college-level composition. Of course that means that the writing done in English 101 resembles no other writing, because writing is, by nature, specific, written for a specific audience. Still, we work on all the basics: from grammar, to developing a thesis that's worth writing about, to the mechanics of quoting from other texts, and how to use a university library to do research. So we're heading into the research paper, and this paper was supposed to prepare them to integrate materials from a variety of sources. Hence my concern about smart student who doesn't follow the asst.
More than you wanted to know, I realise. And nothing to do with your Bill 101 except that both concern language. Hello, muesli. |
