Rating
0.0 stars

This course is the second part of the year-long sequence of college composition.  This class is part of your general education and is required for transfer.  You will continue to learn to write essays this semester, but our focus will shift from persuasive writing to analytical writing and research.  We will use literary texts primarily as the basis for that analysis.  I also focus on texts that are related to health occupations in this course.

The Gordon State College Writing Handbook
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Members of the Gordon faculty have collaborated on the authorship of this guide, and it is targeted directly at Gordon students to help them with their writing across the GSC curriculum. This guide provides at least three distinct advantages over other guides: it is specifically targeted to Gordon State students, it covers writing across the whole curriculum, not just English; and it is free.

Many approaches to crafting this guide were entertained, but the authors decided that what students really want from a composition guide are practical examples of writing that they might actually encounter in their classroom experiences at Gordon. Many guides try to do this, but this guide uses real Gordon professors and real Gordon class assignments as a starting point. This results in what we feel is a substantial improvement over other available writing guides.
