​Composition I (ENC 1101) introduces students to the conventions and styles associated with academic writing. Throughout the course of the semester, students will compose three major writing projects; receive and give feedback to their peers through My Reviewers; and conference at least twice with their instructor on a one-on-one basis. Through each of these three projects, students will develop writing skills appropriate for a university setting and will be encouraged to think critically about the complex relationships between evidence and belief, artifacts and history, self and society.

Assessment 
 
 
Students receive their teacher's feedback on their writing and grades via My Reviewers, a web-based, document markup, peer review, and assessment tool: http://myreviewers.usf.edu.

Focus, organization, evidence, style, and format -- these are the criteria that are used to assess student work in ENC 1101.
