Students in all sections of Writing 101 to learn how to:

engage with the work of others; articulate a position; situate their writing within specific contexts; and transfer writing knowledge into situations beyond Writing 101.

In this iteration of the course, students will critically engage with libraries and archival materials. One major assignment will be to use material in the Rubenstein Special Collections Library to fill gaps in Wikipedia entries related to those materials.
