Alongside continued focus on critical analysis and the conventions of writing in WRT 101, this course focuses on methods of college-level research, evaluation of primary and secondary sources, and the critical examination and use of qualitative and quantitative evidence when supporting an argument. The course enhances students’ abilities to engage in research, writing, thinking, and presenting in a variety of academic, professional, and interdisciplinary contexts. Students who take this course cannot receive credit for ENG 102 or HUM 113 or WLD 201.
