ENC 1101 is a course in which students study how texts work and how to employ similar conventions in their own academic and public writing.  While each section of the course will approach such study differently, all will provide opportunities for students to learn how to introduce a topic or issue, articulate a thesis, support and develop a thesis and subordinate claims, work with secondary sources, and organize an argument.
