and Course Description |

ENC 1102: Introduction to Argument and Persuasion focuses on the essential stylistics of writing clearly and efficiently within the framework of argumentative research writing. Students learn how to formulate a coherent thesis and defend it logically with evidence drawn from research in their various fields. Students also learn how to work through the stages of planning, research, organizing, and revising their writing. The course spends roughly the first third of the term focusing on persuasive writing principles, and then build incrementally towards a full research paper, from writing a summary, to an annotated bibliography, which will expand into a synthesis of two or three critical sources, and then a full-scale research paper. Along the way, students learn efficient library research techniques, correct documentation styles, and ways to avoid plagiarism.
