DIRW-0493 NCBO Integrated Reading and Writing II

NCBO Integrated Reading and Writing is a fundamental English language course designed to aid the student in acquiring the basic skills needed for college level reading and writing. This is accomplished through developmental education interventions that combine to effectively and efficiently prepare students to advance into college credit courses. Emphasis will be placed on reading comprehension, which focuses on literal, critical, and affective understanding of a variety of texts; and essay development, which focuses on structure, style, and usage. Students will also gain an appreciation of rhetorical situations by focusing on a writer's awareness and application of purpose, audience and tone. DIRW 0493 is a corequisite for any credit bearing reading/writing intensive course (i.e. ENGL 1301) for students who score below the college requirement set by the TSI.
