Guidelines for Writing 101 (20) Course Descriptions:


- position writing as central to the work of the course


- provide students with a strong sense of the kinds of writing projects they will encounter


- write it in such a way as to be accessible to a wide range of readers, including first-year students (i.e.,avoid jargon, define terms, and use idioms and cultural references with restraint)
