College-Level Writing Skills (CLA103)
Course Description
Students will master the fundamental principles of non-fiction prose writing, so that they may attain college-level competency in writing. By writing and rewriting several academic essays, students will gain proficiency in such areas as sentence structure, paragraph development, punctuation rules, and use of active voice. Note that this course does not apply toward Patrick Henry College’s degree-completion requirements. However, it is a college-level composition course (offered at the freshman level) that enables some PHC students to meet the prerequisites for CLA201.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: None
