Composition I

Composition I is a course in critical thinking, reading, and writing. It will provide students with a thorough introduction to the stages of the academic writing process including generating ideas, developing a thesis, supporting a thesis with evidence, and revising and editing. Students will be introduced to using the CUNY library system and learn basic research techniques. Because good writing starts in good reading, there will be as much attention paid to critical reading strategies as there is to writing in most weeks. Composition I is linked to City Seminar II and the reading and writing assignments will tie thematically to the overarching City Seminar theme of Immigration: New to New York City.
