Academic Writing & Information Literacy

To cultivate competence in Academic Writing and Information Literacy, students will both learn and apply the writing process (brainstorming, drafting, workshopping, revising, and editing) and information literacy skills (finding, evaluating, and documenting sources) to produce effective written communication in the Liberal Arts. Courses approved for this competency must require students to complete multiple writing tasks of progressive length and complexity, totaling at least 18-20 pages. Students must be afforded the opportunity to edit and resubmit drafts for at least some of these writing assignments.
