WRITING 101

Diagnostic Essays
Students will complete diagnostic essays at the beginning of the semester, so that the instructor knows the full range of writing ability for the whole class.

Documentation
Writing 101 students will also practice how to document sources and use in-text citations correctly, which is a crucial skill as students at Winthrop and after graduation.

Library Lecture
Students must attend a library lecture. These lectures are designed to provide hands-on experience with the Dacus Online Catalog and various databases for research.

Final Exams
All Writing 101 students will take their Writing 101 exam during the regularly scheduled exam time for that class period in their regular Writing 101 classroom. The exams count 10% to 15% of the final course grade.
