University Writing is a skills-based, writing-intensive course that develops students’ abilities to organize, visualize, and compose effective texts. The course introduces the writing process and develops students’ understanding and use of academic rhetorical moves, grammatical structures, and organizational strategies across a variety of academic genres.
