Students focus on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms […]
Learn MoreThis entry-level science course gives students an introduction to basic concepts found in earth science, biology, astronomy, physics and general scientific inquiry. Throughout the course, students will have opportunities to observe simulations, investigate ideas, and solve problems.
