English 110, a five-hour course designed to provide students with intensive writing instruction and practice, introduces students
to various conventions which are important in academic writing. The curriculum of English 110 is similar to that of English
111: in both courses students are introduced to the important skills entailed in prewriting, drafting, and revising, as they
write papers that argue a position, papers that persuade, and papers that evaluate a written text. In English 110, however,
classes meet more often and class size is somewhat smaller to allow for a greater degree of personal assistance from the instructor.
As students work on their various 110-level assignments, they are introduced to the following:
- choosing and narrowing topics
- navigating BGSU's libraries
- selecting and evaluating appropriate sources
- writing to a variety of audiences
- considering the role visual rhetoric and other technologies should play in their papers
- writing several necessary drafts to arrive at a polished, coherent final draft
- citing sources appropriately
- using acceptable documentation format
Upon passing English 110, students are eligible to enroll in English 112; students who do not pass English 110 are required
to enroll in English 111.
