ENG 100 is an introduction to the rhetorical, conceptual, and stylistic demands of writing at the university level; instruction in composing processes, search strategies, and writing from sources. In this course, we will learn to write effectively for a variety of audiences and in a variety of forms. In addition to a personal essay and a more traditional argumentative paper for a scholarly audience, we will also work on expanding and creating Wikipedia articles designed for the general public. The topics we will cover will center around local issues in Hawaiʻi and larger environmental concerns, and our work will have a strong focus on research strategies, source evaluation, and writing with integrity.
