University English courses introduce students to critical thinking and the fundamentals of academic writing in a variety of ways. Through the writing process, students learn to refine and support ideas; investigate, evaluate, and incorporate appropriate resources; edit for effective style and usage; and determine the appropriate approaches for a variety of audiences, purposes, and contexts. Often times writing activities will include exposition and argumentation with at least one research paper.
