Welcome to the first week of ENG/100. This week, you begin to explore how you feel
about writing, in both personal and academic settings, and you get to practice in
both areas.
Beginning this week and in each week of the course, you will do some writing in a
journal (either typed or hand-written). Don’t panic! These entries won’t be graded,
but they are required so you begin to build a habit of writing and can get more
comfortable with the process.
The writing skills inventory this week gives you a chance to consider where you feel
strong about writing and where you feel you need support. And you will find links to
specific tools and resources to help you improve your writing, no matter your skill
level.
Tip: As you approach this week’s reading assignments, be sure to note the specific
page ranges within each chapter for you to read. Of course, you can read the entire
chapter if you want to, but the assignments are only for specific pages.
